I like this cake because it looks really beautiful when assembled and is fairly easy to make, so it's perfect for company.
Cake
7 egg whites at room temperature
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. real vanilla
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Beat in 1/4 cup sugar until glossy. Add the rest of the sugar and mix for about 1-2 minutes. Fold in vanilla. Bake in two greased 10 inch round cake pans. DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. Bake at 275 for about 45 minutes. Take out of pans shortly after out of oven and cool on wire rack.
Assembly
Ice cream (Trader Joe's has a good, rich, vanilla ice cream that tastes homemade)
Heavy Whipping Cream - Whipped and Sweetened
Fresh Berries
On a cake plate put meringue round down and then ice cream layer, berry layer and cream layer. Repeat with other meringue round but put the berries on top for aesthetics.
