 
                Šampita is a Balkan dessert made of whipped meringue mounted onto a layer of sponge cake and, sometimes, crowned with a crust of egg yolk. Considerably simple to make and packed with sugar, this treat, in its slightly varying incarnations, is common throughout the Balkan Peninsula.
