Instructions

  1. Whip the meringue until stiff, gradually adding sugar. Finally, add the cornstarch and mix until just combined.
  2. Combine and knead the dough ingredients (using a stand mixer with a hook attachment works well). Shape the dough into a ball.
  3. Divide the dough into three equal parts, setting aside one light and one dark part in the freezer. Add cocoa to one part and mix until smooth.
  4. Line the bottom of a 26 cm diameter mold with parchment paper. Press one light part of the dough onto the bottom of the mold.
  5. Parbake the crust for 10 minutes at 170°C (340°F).
  6. Once parbaked, spread the jam over the crust, then grate the dark part of the dough over the jam.
  7. Layer the whipped meringue over the grated dough, followed by grating the remaining light dough.
  8. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Do not open the oven for 30-40 minutes after baking.
