- Baked Alaska
- "A dessert made of sponge cake covered with ice cream and a meringue that is browned in the oven." (M)
Ingredients for 8 servings
- 1 lb. spongecake or poundcake (homemade or commercial)
- 10 egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream (preferably brick style)
- 1 pint raspberry sherbet
Note: serving platter, paper, cardboard, pencil, scissors, aluminum foil, wide rubber spatula, freezer (optional: pastry bag fitted with star tube)
Instructions
- Select serving platter.
- Cover serving dish with piece of paper and draw a line around the inner edges of the platter.
- Cut out this tracing of the platter's inner edges and copy it onto a piece of strong cardboard.
- Test to be sure the cut-cardboard will fit on the serving platter, then cover it with aluminum foil and place it in the freezer.
- Cut enough half-inch slices of cake to cover the surface of the platter by 6 to 8 inches. Arrange cake slices on the foil-covered cardboard and freeze.
- Cut the vanilla ice cream into slices and cover the cake, leaving UNCOVERED a half-inch rim around the edges. Refreeze.
- Mound the sherbet over the vanilla ice cream, rounding and smoothing the top. Freeze again.
- Place seven egg whites into a mixing bowl. Add a little granulated sugar and start to beat this egg whites-sugar mix. As the whites get frothy, slowly add the rest of the granulated sugar and two-thirds of the powdered sugar.
- As soon as the whites are stiff and start to get dry, stop beating.
- Add the remaining egg whites and the rest of the powdered sugar and start to beat again, continuing until they are stiff and shiny.
- With a wide rubber spatula, completely cover the ice cream and the cake, using approximately three-fourths of the meringue (created above by whites-sugar-beaten-stiff-and-shiny).
- Optional: Place the remaining meringue in a pastry bag fitted with a star tube and use to decorate the top with swirls, curls and stars.
- Freeze until ready to serve.
- To serve, preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Using a sieve, sprinkle powdered sugar (through the sieve) onto the top of the meringue.
- Place the dessert in oven for one minute.
- Check to see if the front is as brown as the back. If not, turn the Baked Alaska and leave in oven for another minute.
- Serve immediately, slicing with a knife dipped in hot water.
