Strawberry season is still here, making it easy to prepare a bunch of delicious strawberry desserts.

Today I will share an Eastern European recipe for a very simple, super moist, and very refreshing Strawberry Meringue Sheet Cake.

For best results, I recommend serving this cake the same day, or the next day, at the latest.

It is very moist at room temperature but does firm up while refrigerated.

I prefer serving it at room temperature.
