This Strawberry Mascarpone Meringue Cake layers crisp, cloud-like meringue with a rich mascarpone and whipped-cream filling and fresh strawberries. The base is a simple French meringue—egg whites beaten with sugar, a touch of starch, and lemon juice—baked low and slow to achieve a crunchy exterior and soft, marshmallow-like interior. Topped with a tangy mascarpone-cream mixture and juicy strawberries, it’s an elegant dessert that’s surprisingly easy. Perfect for spring and summer gatherings, special occasions, or anytime you crave a light yet indulgent treat, this cake celebrates fresh fruit and airy texture in every bite.
