Watermelon Cake
- 8 egg whites
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large seedless watermelon
- 12 cup brandy
- Remove all but lowest rack from oven.
- Turn on your oven's broiler.
- Cut a cylinder of watermelon about 6-inches high.
- Removing the rind, carve the watermelon into the shape of a round cake 8-inches in diameter and 6-inches in height.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites while slowly adding the sugar.
- Continue adding sugar and beating until stiff peaks form.
- Place watermelon "cake" flat on a heatproof platter and frost with the meringue.
- (Make sure every bit of the watermelon is covered!
- ).
- Place "cake" into oven as far from the broiler as possible - hence on the lowest rack - and broil until meringue is golden.
- Remove watermelon cake from oven.
- Meanwhile, heat the brandy in a small saucepan just until warm.
- Ignite and pour over the meringue.
- When the flames subside, cut into wedges as you would a cake.
