Cake and ice cream dessert
topped with meringue. Baked Alaska consists of hard ice cream on a bed
of sponge cake, the whole thing is then covered with uncooked
meringue. This 'cake' is kept in a cold freezer until serving time, when
it is placed in a very hot oven, just long enough to brown the meringue.
Some brown it under a broiler, while others use a small blowtorch
(propane) to brown the meringue. Vary ice cream flavors to make it
unique to your tastes"
