Ingredients
Mazarine cake
- 150 g butter soft
- 150 g sugar
- 150 g marzipan
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 50 g all-purpose flour
Rhubarb compote
- 200 g rhubarb
- 35 g sugar
- 2 tbsp dark rum (can be omitted)
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
Meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 150 g sugar
Instructions
Mazarine cake
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celcius normal heat.
- Roughly grate the marzipan and whisk it together with the sugar and butter. Beat the eggs in the mixture one at a time. Finally, gently mix the flour into the dough.
- Line the bottom of a springform pan (Ø22) with parchment paper, grease the sides, and sprinkle with sugar. Pour the dough into the pan and bake it for about 30 minutes. Stick in it with a fork and check that the cake is baked before taking it out. Take the ring off the springform pan and let the cake cool on a rack before taking the bottom off.
Rhubarb compote
- Wash the rhubarb and cut them into slices of about 1 cm. Put rhubarb, sugar, rum, and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Let the compote simmer for 5 minutes until the rhubarb is tender and slightly mushy. They should preferably not boil out completely. Take the compote off the heat and let it cool completely.
Meringue
- Make your meringue when the cake and compote have cooled completely down.
- Whisk the egg whites white and fluffy. Add the sugar while whisking, 1 tablespoon at a time. Whisk until the meringue is stiff and smooth.
Serving
- Place the cake on the dish or plate you want to serve it on. Spread the rhubarb compote over the cake, and finally, add the meringue on top. You can use a piping bag if you want to pipe a nice pattern or smear it out with a palette knife. Burn your meringue with a gas burner until it turns light brown.
