Meringue Cake

Ingredients

• sponge cake (bizcocho)
• sugar syrup (almíbar)
• a little sherry (jerez)
• meringue
• pearl sugar or cinnamon

Instructions

1. Bake a sponge cake of your desired size and shape. Place it on a serving platter.
2. Prepare a sugar syrup (almíbar) at proper consistency and flavor it with a little sherry. Pierce the sponge cake all over with a fork so the syrup is absorbed throughout.
3. Spread meringue over the top of the cake, shaping it into a pyramid form. Finish by sprinkling with pearl sugar (grajeas) or dusting with cinnamon.
