Strawberries & Cream Meringue Layer Cake with Fresh Mint

This is an Eton-mess type of layer cake – when you cut into it, you won’t get fine slices like a cake but it will crumble into a very tasty creamy, crunchy mess. When assembled and brought to the table, wait for the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ before people dig in. This method for making meringue is known as the ‘reverse method’ because you add the sugar first – give it a shot and see if you prefer making it this way!
