Why pay expensive prices for an ice cream cake and maybe not even in a flavor that you love? Well you can make an ice cream cake in just one pan- A spring Form Pan.
My family loves when I make these, I am sure yours will too. Any flavor combination will be delicious, this weekend was chocolate cake with fudge topping, chocolate jimmies and chocolate chip Ice cream.
Simple ingredients you can buy at any grocery store or even Target
Prepare your cake recipe as directed and add half of the batter into your spring form pan. Make cupcakes with the remainder or just make an extra cake and freeze for another use. Remove the cake after it slightly cools and place on a wire rack to continue cooling. When completely cool, cut the top to make it an even top.
Place the cake back into the spring form pan and close the pan. Add a layer of your favorite ice cream topping-hot fudge or carmel. Top with additional toppings such as sprinkles or crushed up Oreo cookies. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Take out the ice cream you chose for the filling and allow it to defrost slightly on the counter top or put into the microwave for 60 seconds. Then just scoop the slightly melted ice cream on top of the frozen cake. Use the off set spatula to get a nice even top. Freeze for at least 4 hrs or even overnight. You can put saran wrap over it for long term storage.
When ice cream is firm, release the cake from the spring form pan and place back into the freezer until the frosting is ready..
Put the Vanilla ice cream in the Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds until soft but not melted. Scoop about 3/4 of the ice cream into a bowl and using your mixer froth it to frosting consistency. Then quickly frost the ice cream cake like any other cake but maybe a little more quickly. Place back into freezer if melting too quickly. When finished place the cake back into the freezer and allow to set for at least 1 hr.
You can decorate the cake with any tinted frosting, decorating gels or even hot fudge sauce does well in a pastry bag.
To Serve, place onto counter for about 10 minutes before slicing. Use a large knife and place in warm water in between cuts to aide in cutting.
