Birthday cake

It was my birthday this week, so I baked a cake! I had problems deciding what to bake, but then I remembered an old favourite, that was actually in one of my cookbook's.

I baked Marängtårta (Meringue) from the book Svenska folkets 100 bästa recept ur Allt om Mat (1989) (the Swedish people's 100 best recipes from Allt om mat). Allt om Mat is a really good Swedish food magazine. I got the book from my mum, i guess around the time when it was published, and i have actually cooked a couple of things from it.

In the book they cover the meringue with a chocolate custard, but i wanted lemon and found a recipe on Allt om Mat's website.

I covered the meringue with lemon custard, whipped cream, raspberries and blueberries

It was yummy!!!
