INGREDIENTS:
EGGS--------------------------------------------- 2 ea
FLOUR (all purpose) ------------------------ 6 tbsp
COCOA (sweetened) ----------------------- 2 tbsp
EGGS-------------------------------------------- 3 whites
SUGAR (super fine) ------------------------- 2/3 cup
CHOCOLATE ICE-CREAM---------------4 ½ cups
METHOD:
Grease a 7” round cake pan and line the base with baking parchment. Beat egg and the superfine sugar in a mixing bowl until very thick and pale. Sift the flour and unsweetened cocoa together and carefully fold into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven at 425F for 7 minutes, or until springy of the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Beat the egg whites in a grease-free bowl until they are standing in soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar, beating until you have a thick, glossy meringue. Place the sponge cake on a cookie sheet and pile the ice-cream onto the center heaping it up to a dome. Pipe or spread the meringue over the ice-cream, making sure the ice-cream is completely enclosed (at this point the dessert can be frozen, if desired). Return it tooven, for 5 minutes, until the meringue is just golden. Serve immediately.
