Brownie Meringue Cake

Perfect to share with friends and family, a large cake that is truly indulgent

What is Brownie Meringue Cake?

A deliciously indulgent layered cake, made with two layers of brownies, and two layers of soft Whipping it Up! meringue, finished with layers of cream and fresh fruit.  I’ve used our Cherry cocoa powder in the brownie and Black Cherry Whipping it up in the meringue.

You can also try our other Whipping it up flavours in our range.
