Baked Alaska Day celebrates a dessert made of cake, ice cream, and baked meringue.
Its origin is disputed as either France, the United States, or China.
What is known is that the name was coined in 1876 by Chef Charles Ranhofer of Delmonico's restaurant in New York City to honor the acquisition of the Alaska Territory from Russia by the United States on October 18, 1867, and its official designation as a US District on May 17, 1884.
Baked Alaska is simple to make. A cake is topped with ice cream and enshrouded with a meringue cap which is baked for a minute or so to brown and harden the meringue. The ice cream, insulated by the meringue, doesn't melt.
Often fruits, honey, liquor, or nuts are added.
Deliciously rich, Baked Alaska Day celebrates the dessert and the state.
