I am planning a Baked Alaska but never thought about flaming it until I saw this. Your 70s dessert reference brought me back to all the flamed bananas foster I did (though in the 80s), a much appreciated nostalgic moment 🙂 ! I plan to cheat even more and use a packaged pound cake as my base. At least the first time if this becomes a habit.

This desert featured heavily during my childhood – Mum excelled at it. But I do love the idea of a cheats version – always looking for those shortcuts. xx

I love ice cream bombes and used to make them a lot, though I’ve never made a Baked Alaska. Think I may have to try this one once the weather warms and we are entertaining on the deck. Happy Belated Birthday to Archie!

I would so love to try this recipe, Charlie. I haven never tried, but my grandmother made Baked Alaska at Christmas several times and I remember what a treat it was. It was so special. It’s been thirty years since I’ve been served this special dessert. I would love to give this a try. So many steps, it’s a lot of work, but I think it would be worth it. Thank you for the recipe, and thank you for reviving such a pleasant memory!

This is a great cake for a birthday! I’ve never made one, but I’d love to give it at try. The mix of raspberries and chocolate sounds delicious.
