  • 3 Eggs
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 1 TEASPOON Vanilla sugar
  • 50 g Butter
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 200 g Wheat flour
  • 2 TEASPOONS Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Butter and breadcrumbs
  • 7-10 Tbsp For the meringue :
  • 3 Eggs
  • 180 g Sugar
  • 4 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 25 g flaked almonds
  • 100 ml Water
  • 160 g Sugar
  • 4 TABLESPOONS white rum
  • 300 g fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 300 g fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 7-10 Tbsp 1 1⁄2 kg vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. 1

    For the bottom, preheat the oven (electric cooker) to 175 °C. Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar until light and very frothy. Melt the butter, whisk with the milk and stir into the egg mixture.

  2. 2

    Mix flour, baking powder and salt and carefully fold into the dough.

  3. 3

    Pour the dough into a greased springform pan sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Check with a skewer if the dough is baked through.

  4. 4

    Nothing must stick to it. Allow the cake to cool slightly, then drop it onto a cake rack.

  5. 5

    For the meringue, separate the eggs (no yolk must get into the egg white!). Put the egg whites, sugar and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously over a hot water bath with the whisks of the mixer until the mixture has reached a temperature of 65 °C.

  6. 6

    The beaten egg white should be firm and the sugar completely dissolved. Remove from the water and continue beating until the mixture has cooled down. Add the flaked almonds.

  7. 7

    Heat the oven grill to 250 °C. For the filling, bring water and sugar to the boil, remove from heat and flavour with rum. Add the berries and leave to cool.

  8. 8

    Cut the sponge cake base into 3 cm thick slices and line a casserole dish with a high rim. Drizzle the marinated berries and a little of the marinade over the sponge cake. Cut the very hard frozen ice cream into 3 cm thick slices or use an ice cream scoop to cut them off and place them on the berries.

  9. 9

    Cover the ice cream completely with beaten egg white and bake for 4 minutes with the oven door open until the meringue is golden yellow. Serve immediately.
