LAVISH CHOCOLATE MERINGUE CAKE (IMPOSANTNIY CHOKOLIADOVO BILKOVI
I picked this recipe up in the Ukraine. I modified it somewhat in my recipes but this is the original recipe. I usually add Almond extract to the Meringue layer, in the fillings I used Kirstvasser (gives a little cherry flavor, and Instead of the Chocolate icing I coated it with whipped cream and festooned Strawberries all over.
