It's really rich and oh so yummy. You guys are in for a special treat today! This recipe is a HUGE tradition in our family and it has got to be the best gluten-free meringue desserts of all time!My grandmother (Nana) passed away over 30 years ago, but we still have this cake almost every year for Christmas dinner. Some of my siblings never got the chance to meet our wonderful Nana and so this is a great way for them to feel some kind of memory or connection to her each year.This recipe is very rich and decadent, so you don't need very much to be satisfied. My family has this dessert on Christmas Eve but it could be enjoyed at any time of the year. Nana also sometimes put whipped cream on the top and sides of the cake so that it looked like it was totally frosted. Nana also sometimes put jimmies (sprinkles) on top of the whipped cream, which made it look very festive for Christmas and other holidays.I imagine the jimmies were her own invention since my Dad grew up in Boston and jimmies are big there. You can choose which type of nut you would prefer. My favorite is walnuts, but pecans or almonds work well too. Or you could just forget the nuts.Tips for a successful cakeBake the cakes in 8\u201d springform pans. They are simple to remove that way. The cake must be baked on the 2nd to the bottom rack of the oven. That makes a big difference in ensuring that the cake bakes evenly and you don\u2019t end up with cooked meringue and raw batter.Let us know what you think of my Nana's recipe! Do you have any good memories of foods your grandparents would make\/do make for you?

Grease and flour two 8\u201d springform pans.In a large bowl, beat together the butter and 1 cup of the sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and egg yolks and mix together well, scraping the sides of the bowl once.Mix in the milk.In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Divide the batter between prepared cake pans and spread evenly across bottoms.In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy. Slowly pour in the remaining cup of sugar as you beat the egg whites, beating them until stiff peaks form.Divide the beaten egg whites between cake pans, spreading across cake batter evenly (but not smoothing). Sprinkle both cakes evenly with sliced almonds and bake for 35-40 minutes in preheated oven.Remove cakes from oven and cool on wire rack.When cakes are cool, run a butter knife along the sides of each cake pan, loosening the meringue and cake from the sides. Remove the sides of the springforms.\u00a0Place one cake on a serving dish.Make whipped cream by placing a metal bowl and metal whisk in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Place the sugar in the mixing bowl then the whipping cream and mix on high for a minute or two until stiff peaks form.Spread whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake. Top the cream with the other cake layer.Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFind it online: https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/gluten-free-meringue-cake\/You may also like...The Best Gluten-Free Desserts on My Natural FamilyNo-Bake, Mint Gluten-Free Chocolate Lasagna Recipe {Video}The Best Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Cake RecipeGluten-Free Strawberry Cake From Scratch Recipe"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Gluten-Free Meringue Cake Recipe {aka Fairy Pie}","item":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/gluten-free-meringue-cake\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
