Royal cake without flour
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. When preparing this cake, special attention should be paid to the process of baking the meringue. It is very important that the base dries well, but does not burn. Therefore, as soon as it acquires a caramel color, the heating should be stopped and, if necessary, the meringue should be allowed to dry out in the turned‑off oven.
