  • Preheat the oven to 160 C. Grease a 23 cm cake pan with Pam.
  • In a deep bowl, beat the 4 whole eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla.
  • Place the mixture in a water bath for 2 minutes until it is slightly warm.
  • In an electric mixer, beat the mixture quickly until thick peaks form (about 7 minutes).
  • Slowly add the flour and butter and finish beating.
  • Pour the cake mixture into the pan and bake for 25 minutes, until golden.
  • Line a deep glass dish with plastic wrap. Place the chocolate ice cream at the bottom of the dish and carefully place the freshly baked cake on top.
  • Freeze the cake and ice cream for at least 4 hours (or leave overnight).
  • In an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla one tablespoon at a time.
  • Remove the ice cream and cake from the freezer and flip onto a pie dish that is large enough (the cake is underneath the ice cream).
  • Quickly cover the cake with the meringue, making peaks with a spoon, and chill in the freezer for half an hour.
  • Just before serving, bake the Baked Alaska in a preheated oven at 260 C for 5 minutes.
  • Serve Immediately
