Brown Butter Baked Alaska
- 4 13/16 tablespoons butter
- 5 7/8 tablespoons cake flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/16 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 3/8 tablespoons refined sugar white
- 1 egg
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 cup water
- 3 tablespoons egg whites
- cherry flavoring optional
- ice cream softened, your flavor of choice
- Melt the butter in a skillet and cook over medium heat until it turns dark brown, being careful not to burn it. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until it begins to harden.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Separately, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator and beat using an electric mixer. Add the 2 sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and the vanilla and continue to beat.
- Add the combined flour, baking soda, and salt. Do not overbeat.
- Pour into a small, round (16-centimeter diameter), greased and floured baking mold. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Let it cool and unmold.
- Heat the sugar and water. Once it reaches 118 C, remove from the stove and pour into a bowl that contains the egg whites.
- Beat at high speed until the bowl is cool on the outside. Add flavoring to taste.
- Line a tall round mold with plastic wrap. Fill with ice cream.
- Cut out a circle of cake of the same diameter as the ice cream mold. Add the bread on top of the ice cream and freeze for 1 day.
- Unmold the bread and ice cream. Freeze again.
- Cover with a thick layer of the meringue. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 260 C.
- Bake for 3 minutes so the tips of the meringue are golden brown. Serve immediately.
