A great cake recipe for any occasion:
“Heilig’s Blechle!” This sponge cake is refined with marzipan and simply spread on the tray.

2. spread batter on a well-greased grease pan (approx. 32×39 cm). Spread rhubarb evenly on top. 1Bake in a hot oven (electric oven: 175 °C / convection oven: 150 °C /gas mark 2) for about 20 minutes.
For the meringue, whip 3 egg whites and the juice of one lemon until stiff, add 250 g sugar and 1 packet of vanilla sugar. Pour the mixture into a piping bag with a large nozzle. Remove the cake from the stove and pipe meringue tuffs on top. Bake at the same heat for another 15-20 minutes. Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
