LINDA'S FANTABULOUSLY EASY BAKED ALASKA
Individual portions are easy, fast, and make-ahead so all you have to do is bake them off! The secret to a good baked Alaska is keeping everything frozen. You can use any cake you like such as pound cake and any ice cream you like but the following is my favorite!

Steps:
- Put a parchment lined baking sheet in your freezer.
- Divide ice cream evenly on dessert cups so you have a big mound and put them on the baking sheet, freezing hard.
- Meanwhile, with your balloon attachment, beat egg whites until a little foamy and add the extract and cream of tartar. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add the superfine sugar and one packet of Splenda ( sorry, the recipe wizard would not let me add one packet of Splenda to the ingredient list -- if you don't have Splenda don't add any other artificial sweetener, just omit from the recipe).
- After adding the last of the sugar increase the speed of the mixer to full blast and turn off when stiff peaks form. Be careful not to beat the whites so hard that they separate.
- Divide the meringue evenly over the ice cream and 'frost' the Alaska's or pipe the meringue on decoratively using a large star tip. Be sure to let the meringue cover all of the ice cream and cake. You want them 'air tight'.
- Freeze everything until you are ready to serve.
- On serving day preheat the oven to 450°F When the oven is hot pop your tray of Alaska's into the oven until the meringue is golden brown, just a few minutes. Don't take your eyes off of them or the meringue may burn too much. You can also use a brulee torch to give the meringue some color.
- Serve with some fresh sliced strawberries sprinkled with toasted almonds along side the Alaska.
- This is so easy to make and I hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- Wrap a 10-inch (25 cm) freezer-safe bowl in plastic wrap. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the bowl, and using a spatula smooth the ice cream to form an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen.
- Remove the bowl from the freezer, and scoop the strawberry ice cream onto the frozen vanilla layer. Using a spatula, smooth the strawberry ice cream to form an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen. After the strawberry layer is frozen, repeat with chocolate ice cream.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- In a bowl, add the eggs and sugar and whisk until well combined. Add 1 egg and mix until combined. Repeat with remaining eggs, mixing after each egg is added.
- Alternate adding a little bit of flour and milk, whisking after each addition until combined. Repeat until the flour and milk have been used up. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
- Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch cake tin and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely. Once cool, invert the cake onto a plate and set aside.
- Bring a pan of water to a simmer over medium heat.
- Place a heatproof bowl over the simmering water, and add the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg white mixture is warm, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the pan. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
- Remove the bowl of ice cream from the freezer and gently invert it onto the cake, creating a dome shape. Remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream.
- Working quickly, use a spatula to spread a layer of meringue over the entire cake and ice cream dome so that it's fully coated.
- Using a kitchen torch, brown the peaks of meringue.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

- Make layer cake according to recipe in two 9" cake pans. (My favorite chocolate cake recipe is from Add a Pinch) Remove cakes from pans and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap layers with plastic wrap and either freeze or set aside until ready to assemble cake.
- In one 9" cake pan, place 2 long sheets of foil, criss-crossed and pressed solidly against bottom and sides. Evenly spread the softened ice cream in the foil-lined cake pan. Press top of ice cream with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To assemble cake, place 2 long sheets of plastic wrap criss-crossed and pressed solidly against bottom and sides of the other cake pan. Remove cake layers and ice cream layer from freezer. Unwrap the first cake layer and place in the plastic-lined cake pan right side up.
- Remove plastic wrap from top of ice cream. Lift the ice cream layer out of the pan and invert on top of first cake layer, gently peeling away foil. Unwrap second cake layer and place on top of ice cream layer, right side up. Lift up the excess hanging plastic wrap to cover the cake. Place the assembled cake back in the freezer until ready for the meringue.
