This meringue cake with fresh fruit is such a treat that you may catch yourself making it all of the time! You’ll be in and out of the kitchen in no time, and you can bake it ahead of time. It’s so easy that I almost feel guilty sharing it. After all, you start with a cake mix.
This cake is simply a white cake mix, topped with meringue and nuts and served with fresh fruit. I like peaches or strawberries, and I don’t even use additional sugar on the fruit. The dessert is simple enough to serve on a weeknight, but it’s delicious enough to serve to guest.
