   • Begin by laying the ice cream bricks side by side on a flat surface, and measure their length and width to ensure they fit the cake.
   • Trim the vanilla cake, leaving about 1 inch of extra space on all sides compared to the ice cream measurements.
   • Place the trimmed cake on a piece of foil.

2. Assemble Baked Alaska:

   • Center the ice cream bricks on top of the cake.
   • Cover the ice cream and cake with the foil and place it in the freezer until firm.

3. Make Meringue Topping:

   • When ready to serve, preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
   • In a clean mixing bowl, beat together the egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
   • Gradually add the sugar to the egg white mixture, beating continuously until stiff peaks form.

4. Bake the Baked Alaska:

   • Transfer the cake with the ice cream to a baking sheet.
   • Spread the prepared meringue mixture over the entire surface, ensuring it seals the edges of the cake and baking sheet.
   • Use a spatula to create swirls or peaks in the meringue for a decorative touch.
   • Place the baking sheet with the assembled Baked Alaska on the lowest rack in your preheated oven.
   • Bake for about 3 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown and slightly toasted.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Carefully slice the Baked Alaska into individual portions.
   • Serve immediately, allowing the contrast between the warm, toasted meringue and the cold, creamy ice cream to delight your taste buds.
