STEP BY STEP
Walkthrough

Before you begin
Items needed: 316 coins, a bucket of milk, flour, an egg, a bowl of water, gloves (ice gloves recommended)
Items recommended: 2 Falador teleports (1 if you have ice gloves)
Items recommended: 2 Falador teleports (1 if you have ice gloves)
Inspect the frozen dwarf in the Lumbridge Castle dining room to start the quest.
Go to Falador, and talk to any of the three barmaids in the Rising Sun Inn next to the west bank. Ask her about dwarves and ale. She will offer to tell you the secret recipe for Asgoldian ale for the price of 200 Coins (free if you pick the persuasion option while wearing an activated ring of Charos, 150 coins if you wear the ring but do not persuade her, only 100 coins if you give her a plain pizza, or only 50 coins if you give her a chocolate bar). She will tell you to add a gold coin to an Asgarnian ale to get an Asgoldian ale. Buy four (4) (or six) Asgarnian ales from her (or go to The Toad and Chicken pub in Burthorpe and pick up the ales for free), then add a coin to each one as per the secret recipe.
Go to the tunnel under White Wolf Mountain (a Camelot teleport or games necklace are useful for a short walk). You will see an old dwarf in the bar area. Talk to him. He will refuse to bake a dwarven rock cake for you, but he'll mention the Rising Sun Inn.
Use the Asgoldian ales on Rohak. Quickly give them to him to get him drunk, or he will sober up and you will need to get more Asgoldian ales again.
He will agree to make you a dwarven rock cake for 100 gold. Give him your bucket of milk, egg, flour, and bowl of water, and he will put the hot cake on the table next to you. You will need to cool it down before you can give it to the Dwarf back in Lumbridge. Warning: trying to pick up the cake without any gloves on will cause damage and the rock cake will drop to the ground. Wearing normal gloves avoids damage but the rock cake still needs to cool.
If you have ice gloves equipped, picking up the cake cools it immediately. If you've forgotten to equip your ice gloves, you can still pick it up with any other gloves (otherwise it will likely despawn before you can bank and return and you will need to bring Rohak with all of the ingredients again), so simply bring it to a bank, drop it there, and pick it up again with ice gloves on.
Without ice gloves, you have to kill an icefiend with the rock cake in your inventory. The other option is to leave it in the bank, though you will have to wait several hours for it to cool down. You can find icefiends on Ice Mountain, west of the Edgeville Monastery.
Once you have cooled the rock cake, return to the Lumbridge castle and use it on the frozen dwarf.

Walkthrough
Inspect the dwarf in Lumbridge Castle's dining room.
Go to the Rising Sun Inn in Falador and talk to Emily or Kaylee. Pay her to learn how to make Asgoldian ale.
Say: What can you tell me about dwarves and ale? → I could offer you some in return, how about 200 gold?
Use coins on your Asgarnian ales to get Asgoldian ales.
Go to the tunnel under White Wolf Mountain.
Talk to "An old Dwarf" located in the bar and give him Asgoldian ales until he agrees to make a dwarven rock cake.
Talk to him 3 times and he will place a dwarven rock cake on the table. (His name will change to Rohak)
If you have ice gloves, equip them and pick up the cake. Otherwise either telegrab the cake or equip other gloves and pick it up, then kill an icefiend (at Ice Mountain) to cool the cake.
Give the dwarven rock cake to the dwarf in Lumbridge.
