Cloudberry cake with meringue

Recipe
Nordics
Dessert

Cloudberries, also known as the gold of Lapland, are a rarity among berries as they only grow in cold or subarctic climates and cannot be cultivated. Their unique flavor makes them a sought-after ingredient. Yellow raspberries or sea buckthorn can be used as an alternative.
