| | 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"
