Preparation

Step 1

Place ice cream on top of sponge cake so that there is still a 1" border of cake sticking out. Cover with foil and freeze until firm.

Using a copper bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar to soft peaks for 1 minute at medium speed. Gradually add sugar and beat at high speed for 7 minutes.

Put cake on a baking sheet. Spread egg whites around cake in a circular pattern. Bake for 3 minutes at 500 degrees F or until peaks are tinged golden brown.
