Baked Alaska recipe, please

[hobnob]

Does anyone have a scrumptious recipe for Baked Alaska?

i want it too!

P.S. I am willing to make the ice-cream, sponge etc with my own fair hands rather than buying-and-assembling.

bump

Last bump before I go and find an inferior Google one rather than a lovely MN one.

Make a sponge cake or madiera cake. When cool spread it with raspberry or strawberry jam. Scoop loads of ice cream on top in a big mound. Freeze.

Make meringue mix with egg whites and sugar and cream of tartar.

Cover the frozen ice cream and cake with meringue.

/Bake in oven at 180C for about twen munites until the meringue is browned.

bake for three to four minutes, not twen whatever that means!

You can tart the basic recipe up to your heart's content, with home made ice cream, other flavours, pouring brandy over the sponge first, adding fresh fruit like strawberries and raspberries witht eh jam, making a chocolate one, adding sliced almonds to meringue etc etc

Thank you so much, Overbod.

No probs.

Look, mini ones!

Dee-licious! And so diddy, like little hedgehogs. I'm looking forward to this Baked Alaska business!

how much cream of tartar? i havent put that in meringue before?
