Recipe for Marmalade Cake

• First, make meringues using our recipe or use ready-made meringues.
• For meringue crusts, whip the egg yolks with sugar until white foam.
• Add soft butter and sour cream. Whip everything well.
• Mix baking soda with vinegar and add to the mixture.
• Put flour and blend with a mixer at medium speed.
• Blend until thick pastry. If the pastry is watery, add more flour.
• Then coat a baking sheet with oil and dust with breadcrumbs.
• Pour the pasty evenly over the baking sheet.
• If the baking sheet is large, bake the whole crust and then cut in along.
• If the baking sheet is small, bake a few crusts.
• Bake in a preheated oven at the medium temperature for 30 minutes.
• Make sure not to overcook the crusts.
• While the crusts are baking, make a cream.
• For the cream, just whip sour cream with sugar.
• For the syrup, wash plums or any other fruits available, remove stones, sprinkle with sugar and boil.
• When the crusts are cool, pour them over with unstrained plum syrup.
• Top soaked crusts with broken nuts and put marmalade evenly.
• Then, spread marmalade with cream and top with the next crust. Repeat the process until all crusts run out.
• On the upper crust topped with cream put meringue and marmalade pieces.
• Or garnish the cake to up your taste and fantasy.
