Photo: Strawberry Meringue Cake (Mostachon) Recipe
Ingredients
Cake:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- One 15.8-ounce pack Maria crackers, chopped
Frosting:
- 8 ounces (1 cup) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 pounds sliced fresh strawberries, for garnishing
Directions
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch nonstick springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar slowly, then the vanilla, baking powder, and salt while beating, about 2 more minutes. Turn the power off and fold in the walnuts and Maria crackers. Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
For the frosting: In an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form and the mixture is smooth.
To assemble: Remove the cake from the oven. Let cool for 15 minutes. Remove the springform. Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting all over the cake. Garnish with the strawberries and serve.

This was a new recipe for me. As usual I used the items I had in our pantry at home. I exchanged Nella waffer cookies and shaved almonds for the walnuts and crackers. I also added an extra egg white because I was worried about it holding together during baking. It turned out moist, soft, and flavorful. It had a taste that is comparable to Angle food cake mixed with cheesecake. Absolutely delicious!!!

This is a great cake, but this recipe has way too much cookie. It made it too dry. I have tried other recipes great results. I just thought to give Marcela's a try as I love her recipes. 7 oz. would be more than enough.
