• Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch fluted tip and pipe evenly onto parchment rectangles, filling them in. (Alternatively, divide meringue among parchment rectangles, spreading with a spatula to fill them in.)
• Bake meringue layers in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching positions halfway through baking, 1 hour, or until crisp and firm. (If weather is humid, cooking time may be longer.) Cool meringue layers completely on baking sheet in turned-off oven or on a rack and carefully peel off parchment. Meringue layers may be made 1 day ahead, wrapped well in plastic wrap or sealed in an airtight container, and stored in a cool, dry place.

• In a heavy saucepan stir together purée ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is softened, about 12 minutes. Cool mixture slightly and in a blender or food processor purée until smooth (use caution when blending hot mixtures). Transfer purée to a bowl and cool. Purée may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring purée to room temperature before proceeding.
• Just before serving, assemble cake:
• Lightly whip heavy cream.
• On a large platter arrange 1 meringue layer and spread evenly with 1/2 cup rhubarb purée. Spread half of whipped cream evenly over purée and top with 3/4 cup raspberries. Repeat procedure with another meringue layer, 1/2 cup purée, remaining whipped cream, and 3/4 cup raspberries. Top with remaining meringue layer.
