Join me and let's see how to make Baked Alaska

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Slice the sponge cake into four equal rounds and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Step 2
  • Place a scoop of ice cream on top of each cake round and spread it evenly to match the shape of the cake.
  • Step 3
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the ice cream.
  • Step 4
  • In the meantime, preheat your oven to the highest broil setting.
  • Step 5
  • In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Step 6
  • Gradually add the sugar and continue whipping until you have stiff, glossy peaks. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Step 7
  • Remove the cake and ice cream from the freezer and quickly cover each with the meringue, making sure there are no gaps.
  • Step 8
  • Place the Baked Alaska in the oven under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Watch it carefully, as it can brown quickly.
  • Step 9
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Baked Alaska before the ice cream melts!
