Baked Alaska

Baked Alaska is a classic dessert made with layers of cake, ice cream, and meringue, all baked together for a delicious and impressive treat.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the sponge cake on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the ice cream evenly over the sponge cake, creating a thick layer.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up the ice cream.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.
Gradually add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and quickly spread the meringue over the ice cream and cake, making sure to completely cover the dessert.
Use a spatula to create decorative peaks in the meringue.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Slice and serve immediately.
