    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray square pan, 9x9x2 inches, with cooking spray.

    Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

    Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Beat 2 egg whites in medium bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Spread over cake.

    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until meringue is light brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Top each serving with strawberries.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Careful not to get any egg yolk in with the egg whites. The fat from the yolk will reduce the final amount of meringue you get.
  • tip 2
    Eggs are easy to separate with the aide of an inexpensive egg separator. These handy gadgets work best when the eggs are cold. Passing eggs between broken shells is not recommended because of the potential for bacterial contamination.
