- Prepare the Base
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a springform cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add milk and oil, mixing well.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add vanilla extract and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter, slightly pressing them down.
- Bake the Cake Base
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven but leave the oven on.
- Prepare the Meringue Topping
- While the cake cools slightly, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar and lemon juice, continuing to whisk until the meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
- Add Meringue and Finish Baking
- Spread the meringue evenly over the cake, forming gentle peaks with a spatula for a decorative look.
- Place the cake back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the meringue is lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool before slicing.
- Enjoy your Torta di Mele Meringata with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Tips
- 🍋 Zesty Twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon to the apples for a warm, spicy flavor.
