Method

Preheat oven to 180ºC and grease cake tin.

Cream butter and sugar until pale, then beat in 4 medium eggs. Sift in 340g of self–raising flour and fold into the mixture.

Put into cake tin and bake for around 20 minutes.

Beat 4 egg whites together until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add in 120g of caster sugar and a tablespoon of white wine vinegar and continue to whisk.

When the sponge comes out, cut into medium–size circles using a biscuit cutter and add a slice of vanilla ice cream, topped with meringue.

Bake for a further 5–10 minutes.

Garnish with mixed berries and fruit.
