RHUBARB MERINGUE CAKE
This desert looks impressive- but it's easy to make, notes Gillian Holter-Hovind from Fetsund, Norway. "When I first moved to the farm after my husband and I married, nobody here liked rhubarb," she reveals. "I'm working on changing that with recipes like this one."

Steps:
- Place egg whites in a bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in another bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks, milk and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture (batter will be thick). Place in two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans; set aside., Add vanilla to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spread evenly over batter, sealing edges to sides of pans. Sprinkle nuts on top of one pan., Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Place layers so meringue side is up; cool completely., For filling, combine rhubarb and sugar in a large saucepan; let stand for 30 minutes. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until rhubarb is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in the butter, orange zest and coriander. Cool completely., In a bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into 1 cup rhubarb filling. Refrigerate remaining filling for another use.
