Lemon Poppyseed Boccone Dolce Cake
Ingredients
- 10 large egg whites room temperature
- 1¼ cups confectioners’-style natural sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- 2 tablespoons poppyseeds
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
FILLING:
- 10 large hard-boiled egg whites or 1¼ cups 100% liquid egg whites, lightly scrambled
- 1 cup unsweetened macadamia nut milk
- ½ cup confectioners’-style natural sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener or more to taste
- 1/2 cup Further Food Vanilla Collagen
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
- ⅛ teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- Raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °F. Cut parchment paper into 3 (9-inch) rounds and place on 2 large baking sheets.
- Make the cake: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, sweetener, cream of tartar, and salt with an electric hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Gently stir in the poppyseeds and extract. Divide the meringue mixture between the 3 parchment rounds, spreading each portion into a smooth and even disk, about 1 inch high.
- Bake for 3 hours, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue disks inside the oven, letting the residual heat continue to bake them for another 20 minutes. Transfer the meringue disks to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile make the filling: Put all the filling ingredients in a blender and puree until very smooth. Taste and add more sweetener as needed. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and keep refrigerated while the meringue disks are cooling.
- Assemble the cake: Once the meringue disks have cooled completely, peel off the parchment and place one disk on a cake platter. Using a spatula, spread one-third of the filling on the meringue. Top with raspberries along the outside of the meringue. Repeat with remaining meringue disks, filling, and raspberries.
- Cut into slices with a very sharp knife, wiping the blade clean after each cut, and serve.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“Well, I didn’t expect to feel emotional over this but here we are!
In two years, I have gotten sober, lost a baby, had a beautiful daughter who was in the NICU for the first 2 months of her life, and stopped taking care of myself due to pandemic life. 3 months ago I decided it was enough, and thanks to the delicious recipes and unwavering guidance of Maria Emmerich my life has changed.
I go for a walk every day with my daughter, I eat foods I love, and the PTSD and anxiety I have lived with since a serious accident in my early 20’s has become much more manageable. I am grateful!” Helen
