An English Eton Mess Cake is the February Dessert You Never Knew You Needed [RECIPE]
I'll admit it. Until my friend, Patty Millay said she was going to make an Eton Mess Cake for the What's Cookin'? segment of my radio show, I had never heard of one. And, because I am basically a child when it comes to willpower, I immediately rushed over to YouTube to see if there were some recipes for it. As usual, YouTube delivered!
And there are a lot more videos where that one came from and there are a lot of variations on the Eton Mess. Some are desserts . . .
Some are even made of pancakes!
My friend Patty is really creative too and I am excited that I get to share her recipe. Patty is the queen of shortcuts and came up with an easy way to bake this cake in a fraction of the time the original recipe calls for.
Here's a photo of her masterpiece!
From Patty:
I fell in love with the name of this cake and it's so pretty on a plate! That's all it took for me to pick this for our Valentine dessert! Light, easy to make and we'll call it a "healthy" choice due to all the berries!
I don't have time or the patience to sift flour and bake meringues for an hour and a half! I took the cheaters way with this and I have NO complaints on how it turned out.
