Ingredients

Making a delicious vanilla cream meringue cake is pretty easy, as long as you have the proper ingredients. You’ll need: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of melted butter or margarine, ¾ cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar.

For the meringue, you’ll need: 2 egg whites, ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the melted butter or margarine, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the meringue, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the top of the cooled cake. Bake the cake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Serving the Cake

To serve the cake, whip the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake and sprinkle with additional confectioners’ sugar. Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy!
