Fill a hollowed-out pound-cake with ice cream, preferably vanilla. Trim the top (see left) so that it is thin at its bottom, and place it on top of the ice cream. Prepare regular meringue with egg-whites and sugar. Frost the ice-cream-filled cake with it and bake the assembled dessert in a medium-hot oven until lightly browned.

Use an oven-proof platter, because transferring this delicate dessert to a serving-dish is likely to damage its careful construction.
This plate is made in Japan by Noritake, in the Blue Adobe pattern.


Bring your Baked Alaska to table while the meringue is still hot. Place the platter on a heat-proof pad or trivet. Cut this elegant dessert into sections and serve it as soon as possible so that the ice-cream filling will be cold and the meringue coating remains warm.

Elegant, nutritious sorbet is easily made at home with frozen fruit. I made this one with frozen strawberries and canned pineapple, a little bit of honey, all processed in a Cuisinart and frozen again for an hour.

Pound Cake for Elegant Desserts

In easy elegant dessert, Elegant Baked Alaska, Elegant Valentine'd Day Dessert, Elegant Valentine's Day Dinner on 05/02/2011 at 9:58 am

Pound cake is expensive to make, and may not turn out the way that you like. Elegant Survival  published the news last year that pound-cake can be bought in three-packs at warehouse stores like Sam’s Club for about two dollars each.

I have used these pound-cakes successfully for making baked Alaska, in combination with vanilla ice cream and meringue. Strawberry or raspberry jam may be layered into the cake as well. Please see my Elegant Dessert page for Valentine’s Day dessert ideas.
