8 servings
For the sponge cake
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the ice cream dome
- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
For the Italian meringue
- 4 pasteurized egg whites
Ingredient noteThe eggs here are pasteurized, which kills salmonella, so the egg itself is fine during pregnancy even when it is not cooked.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and grease the parchment.
