Hallucinations..

.. tend to linger. I could do anything for a piece of this cake right now!
This is the best cake I ever had!
This slightly sour and lovely cake was once composed for the famous ballerina Anna Pavlova in Australia where it still is very popular.
My friend Paivi is a great cook/baker and she made this for her friends last Saturday. With fresh berries. In wintertime with snow, in an not so easily accessible in a cottage far out in the archipelago - no water in the tabs..
Get my drift? (In Swedish: Bedrift!)
Well, to produce a thing like this could easily be called "a miracle"! She made the delicious lemon curd herself as the meringue layers topped with rosted almonds on the whipped cream and decorated with huge bleuberries and rasberries. Fresh. This took some effort and planning in a place like Sandhamn/Trouville this time of year! So I will go on hallucinating with an slightly embarrassing never ending mouth watering effect..
