    1. First make the meringues: beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, gradually adding the sugar. 2. Pipe the meringue onto parchment paper using a pastry bag. Dry the meringues in the oven at 165°F (75°C) for 1.5–2 hours. 3. For the buttercream, blend the sugar with the egg, then add the warm milk and vanilla sugar. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 7 minutes. 4. Beat the softened butter with a blender and gradually add it to the cooled milk-and-egg custard, beating the whole time. 5. Assemble the cake: on a plate, arrange a layer of meringues, spreading buttercream on the bottom and top of each one. Add the next layer of meringues with buttercream, and so on, building it up into a mound. 6. Melt the chocolate in a little milk and drizzle it over the cake to decorate. Enjoy your tea time!
