This dessert is one I don't make very often. It was from my Grama Smith, my dad's mom. It has 3 distinct textures and flavors that all mix together to make a special dessert.

1 t. baking powder and a dash of salt. |

Spread over batter in the pan. Bake at 350 for about 18 - 20 minutes. Just until the merengue starts to brown. |

2 T sugar, |
1 t vanilla, and 1 T cornstarch, |
and 1 egg yolk. |

Add top layer. |
