How to Make Chocolate Baked Alaska
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8x2 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the ice cream: Cut 1 pint of vanilla ice cream lengthwise into halves.
- Place one half on a plate and freeze. Return the remaining half to the freezer for later use.
- Once the cake is completely cool, cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the cooled cake onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Place the frozen ice cream half onto the cake, leaving a 1-inch border on one side.
- Trim the remaining cake around the ice cream, leaving a 1-inch edge.
- Freeze the cake and ice cream for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Working quickly, completely cover the frozen cake and ice cream with the meringue, sealing it to the foil.
- Bake on the lowest oven rack for 3-5 minutes, or until the meringue is light brown.
- Carefully remove the foil and transfer the Baked Alaska to a serving plate.
- Cut into 6 slices, then halve each slice for serving.
- Serve immediately.
