Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Prepare the basePreheat oven to 120°C (250°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt with a mixer on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until foamy. Gradually beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time (this will take about 2 minutes). Continue beating for about 3 minutes more, until stiff and glossy.
  2. Sift cocoa powder over the egg white mixture and sprinkle with chopped chocolate; mix well. Spread the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet to form a 20 cm (8 in) circle, leaving a shallow well in the center. Reduce the oven temperature to 105°C (220°F).

    Bake for about 2 hours, until the meringue is firm and dry. Turn off the oven and slightly open the door. Let the meringue cool in the oven for about 3 hours. Carefully remove from the parchment and transfer to a plate.

  3. Prepare the toppingIn a large bowl, beat the cream, sour cream, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until soft peaks form. Stir in the strawberries and the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar. Top the cake with whipped cream and strawberries.
