Cutting the Cake for Baked Alaska

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Gail Hoffman from Middltown Beach, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to make for you a baked Alaska. You need to find a bowl that is going to fit the cake. You want the diameter of the cake on the bowl to be the same. So when it fits on top of it, it will be nice and smooth. I have already baked a cake. This is a yellow cake to go with my chocolate and strawberry ice cream and I'm going to cut it because it's slightly larger than the bowl. To do that, I'm laying it down on a piece of parchment paper and I'm removing my parchment paper I used to bake. With a nice sharp knife, I'm going to just basically cut along the side of the bowl and you can take the leftover cake and eat it plain. You can do all different kinds of cakes too and mix them with the different ice cream, you can do a chocolate cake and make chocolate mint ice cream or chocolate cake with a sorbet or something. If you wanted to make it a little bit lighter but now that we have our cake cut I'm ready to form the ice cream mold."
