What I love about this cake is the variety of fruits you can choose for this recipe, depending on the season. Peaches bring a wonderful flavour and blueberries are a good choice as well. As fall comes, plums, apples and pears make the perfect combinations.


This cake is topped with a sturdy meringue, whipped to stiff peaks and toasted in the oven to ensure a cake that won’t weep or become soggy.

This apricot meringue cake is one of the best desserts.The flavor is absolutely wonderful and everyone in the family is delighted every time I make it.
