Every year on February 1, we celebrate National Baked Alaska Day. This delectable dessert is crafted by layering slices of sponge cake, filling them with vanilla ice cream, and enveloping the creation entirely in whipped meringue. The entire assembly is then briefly baked in a hot oven to allow the meringue to set and achieve a delightful browned finish. Baked Alaska is also referred to as Omelette Norvegienne.
