This recipe is delicious, fun and impressive. The size of the cake and the proportions of ingredients are confusing. It looks like a big cake in the photos, but then calls for a 4×8 inch loaf pan. And the recipe, as noted, makes a LOT of whipped cream, ganache and meringue. I was looking at my loaf pan and thinking I had WAY too much of everything.

I used a 4×13 Pullman loaf pan and a box and a half of graham crackers. Made the caramel whipped cream (YUM) and the ganache per the instructions and had about a cup of each left over. I cut the meringue recipe in half and still had a lot left-over and made little pavlovas. I actually used 7 egg whites (“large” eggs,) which was less than 1 cup, and it was plenty. 2 CUPS of egg whites would have been closer to 2 dozen eggs. And my cake was plenty dramatic! Hope this perspective helps some folks.

Hi Whitney, thank you for catching these discrepancies! I have updated the recipe. Please note: This is for A LOT of meringue for the dramatic effect shown in the photos. Happy baking!

1. A cup of granulated sugar weighs 200g. So is it a full cup of sugar for the caramel whip cream? And is it 800g/4 cups of sugar for the meringue or is it actually 400g/2 cups?
2. When do you add the vanilla to the meringue?

Thank you! I’m excited to try this!

Could this dessert be made a couple of days ahead?
Thank you

Hi Sue, in this recipe she uses graham crackers in place of the cookies that are listed in the original recipe.

I have found a small blob of cream cheese added to whipping cream does a nice job of stabilizing. My daughter made a cake with 2 cups of whipping cream, 1 ounce of cream cheese, and the whipped cream was stabilized until it was gone three days later.

I really want to try this so I need to know about the cookies.
