Claire Saffitz's Preserved Lemon Meringue Cake

Made for my dad’s birthday! My first time making Italian meringue too! :slight_smile: such a fluffy well-balanced cake​:yum:

What do you mean by preserved How long has it been preserved

It uses preserved lemons I never knew they existed They are a Middle Eastern and North African thing Apparently they’re pickled lemons They’re in a salt brine so they are a bit salty with a mellow flavor

Ooh looks amazing That toasted meringue and the layers make it beautiful

Oh man I have this recipe tagged from her book but have not made it yet This looks great

This is perfect

So beautiful

Oh wow that looks amazing Thanks for sharing I can’t wait to bake this cake myself

This is so gorgeous Congrats on a job well done and happy birthday to your dad

Lemon meringue is my favorite I once ate a whole jar of lemon curd with a spoon when I visited London
