Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
In another bowl, beat the butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally if it's too thick to about 1 inch thick.
Line a separate bowl (the size of your intended final Baked Alaska) with plastic wrap. Press softened sugar-free vanilla ice cream into the bowl. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
To assemble, place the cake on a baking dish. Turn the frozen ice cream dome onto the cake and remove the plastic wrap.
For the meringue, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add erythritol, beating until stiff peaks form.
Spread the meringue over the ice cream and cake, sealing to the edges of the cake.
Bake in a preheated 230°C (450°F) oven for about 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned.
Serve immediately, slicing into the beautiful Baked Alaska to reveal the surprise hidden inside.
