I love all the recipes I have collected from TOH & other recipe sites but, I am sorry to say, this site is unbearably SLOW! Can't something be done about that?!~

I've fixed a recipe just like this several times called, "Meringue Torte". It's so light and refreshing on a hot summer day! I slice strawberries and arrange them over-lapping around the top-center of the frosted cake. It's a showstopper and sooo delicious, people love it!
