She says this quantity will serve 8-10, but with the chocolate filling it
is very rich and will serve more.
Mix cornflour and sugar. Put egg whites in mixer bowl with pinch of salt.
Whisk at low speed until frothy, then increase speed and whisk until
mixture is makes stiff but glossy peaks. Start adding sugar/cornflour a bit
at a time, beating till stiff after each addition. When all mixture had
been added, beat in vinegar and vanilla.
Spoon or pipe into 2 8" circles on silicon paper lined baking trays. Have
oven heated to 300F,150C. Turn down to 275F, 140C. Put cakes in and bake
for 45 min to 1 hour, swapping over position halfway through. They are
ready when top is firm and crisp to touch.
Filling: Melt some chocolate and mix with a beaten parev whip. Should be
quite dark brown and taste definitely of chocolate.
When meringues are cool sandwich together with filling. Can be served from
fridge or freezer.
