Spoon meringue into the springform pan, mounding the mixture
as needed. Place on top of a large sheet
pan and place into the oven. Bake for one hour and 10 minutes. Turn oven off and allow the schaum torte to
cool in the oven for 1-2 hours before removing.
While schaum torte is baking, core and slice
strawberries. Toss with 1/3 – ½ cup of sugar (depending upon the natural
sweetness of the strawberries) and allow to sit at room temperature for up to 6
hours.
Serve torte with sliced fresh strawberries and whipped
cream.
