Chocolate Meringue Waffle Cake Recipe | How to make Meringue Cake

Welcome to my channel Alice Yummy Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make chocolate meringue and waffle cake. It's absolutely delicious, really really yummy, very amazing, looks fantastic and it's just so so yummy. I really really hope you try this recipe. It does require a few cooking processes but at the end it's totally worth it. It's best to eat this cake straight away as the meringue is not going to hold on with the cream and it's so yum guys. It's crunchy it's soft and sweet and chocolatey so if this is something for you you should definitely try it now let's get started we're going to start with our hazelnuts so place them into your blender and pulse a few times until you get sort of fine crumbs but also large pieces you don't want to make it into a powder you still want to feel that crunch and then we're going to add my hazelnuts into a frying pan make sure it's really nice and hot don't add any oil whatsoever we just want to make sure they get a bit of that crispy feeling a bit of that cooked feeling and while that's cooking we're going to make the meringue so make sure your bowl is clean add your room temperature egg whites and whisk it on a slow speed to start with and then on a faster speed once you've seen the meringue becomes nice and fluffy and yellow we're going to slowly add the sugar and just keep whisking until it forms nice soft peaks then we're going to add some corn flour and then our cooked hazelnuts just like that mix everything together make sure it's all incorporated and nice and done we should look just like that next up pad a baking tray with some parchment paper i'm going to draw little rings um this is the size i want my cake to be so you don't have to this but I do find that it's more accurate and looks neater so just draw a little circle where you're going to add your meringue and just add a couple of dollops on each circle. I'm making three circles like that so make sure you divide your mixture evenly this way you will have the same layers of the same size and then just spread it around making sure it covers the whole ring just like that. Place your meringue into preheated oven at 120 degrees celsius or 250 fahrenheit for about one hour it's going to be nice and slow and i had to cook this twice because i only fit in two of my meringues in there and girls and guys you can find the full recipe on my website at aliziamifood.com i've got tons and tons of recipes latest and the oldest ones and they're all translated into russian and english languages with video instructions next once the meringue is done we're going to take it out and we're just going to leave it to cool down completely in a pot add your egg yolks together with sugar and then mix everything together with your whisk until the mixture starts to come together. It's going to be quite dry. Add your plain flour and then cocoa powder and mix everything one more time. You do want to mix everything together at first so there are no lumps and then you want to add half of your sour cream. Mix everything again until the mixture becomes quite smooth and lovely. So once your mixture is mixed through at this stage you want to add the second half of your sour cream and mix everything one more time until it becomes really really nice and quite liquid just look at that chocolate mmm I really really like this filling as it's really easy to make and it tastes delicious you then want to place this onto your stove and cook this for about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the heat that you have but I do suggest cooking it at the low to medium speed until your mixture thickens you have to stay by the stove all the time and keep mixing otherwise you're going to get a lot of lumps but we're also going to sieve this mixture through to make sure there are no lumps at all so place sieve over a large bowl and i'm just using a spoon and making sure the mixture is nice and velvety so once you're finished with that you can see that the cream is nice and smooth so now we're going to place a cling film on top of that and we're going to leave it to cool down for about 30 minutes up to an hour at room temperature while we make our layers. I've got my waffles, I've got my cream and I've also got my cooked meringues. So you can easily take them off the parchment paper, just gently go around with your spatula underneath and they're done. Now it's time to layer our cake. So I'm adding about two tablespoons of my chocolate custard mixture and spreading it around everything so you want to make sure the cream goes into every single little hole once you spread it out nice and evenly we're gonna then add our meringue layer so because we have four layers of meringue and a bit more of waffles you can have two layers of waffles and then one meringue so just kind of do it and how you feel and how it looks and whatever you have by hand. Then add the same amount of cream onto your meringue, spread it around nice and even and you want to kind of repeat the process with all the layers, with all the waffles and your meringue. I really really love this combination of meringue and waffle because it's crunchy, it's soft and it's very chocolatey. So if you're a fan of all of these things you're going to love this cake. It was a little bit of an experiment to see how it's going to turn out but I actually really really loved it. Then we want to put our final layer as a meringue because I do think it's prettier and it's very nice to decorate and then you want to add any decorations that you feel like. I'm adding some flowers made from cream and some chocolate decorations and I'm also decorating this with fresh raspberries just to give it a bit more color but like I said feel free to use your imagination and do whatever you actually love and then the cake goes into the fridge for a few hours but make sure you eat it straight away as the meringue tends to sog and it's not going to be very nice and delicious so yeah well like with any meringue cakes you should consume it pretty pretty quickly but just look at this stunning cake i absolutely love it when we cut inside it's very very easy to cut it breaks and the meringue is still crunchy the layers have soaked through with the cream and it's absolutely delicious I really really hope you enjoyed this recipe and you make this cake so if you do let me know tag me on my social media at Alice yummy food and I will put a playlist of other videos you can check out at the end and yeah thank you so much for watching
