1

Litres

vanilla ice cream
6

egg whites
3

ml

cream of tartar
125

g

castor sugar
1

ml

Method

Place the sponge cake on a heat resistant serving platter. Soften the ice cream slightly and cover the cake with it, leaving a narrow edge round the cake uncovered. Cover with tin foil and freeze until hard. Preheat the oven to 220 ºC (425 ºF) just before serving. Make the meringue by beating the egg whites until they froth. Add the cream of tartar and beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add the castor sugar by the spoonful, beating after each addition. Cover the ice cream cake entirely with the meringue and bake for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Tip of the day

Bug-free flour
Put one stick of chewing gum with the outside wrapper removed into an opened box of flour or oatmeal to keep it free of bugs.
