When my nephew was growing up one time for his Birthday he asked for a Icecream Cake. Before you ask no, he never got one as far as I know. With Easter here before we was all Quarried to our home I had planned on picking one up and inviting his family over for dessert.
Since we can’t have company I thought I would pick up a Icecream Cake for Charlie, David and I but they didn’t want’ any desserts for Easter. We even ordered in so I wouldn’t have to cook.
Now, I am thinking I might make a Icecream Cake for myself for Mother’s Day and my Anniversary on the 20th of May and celebrate both days with my sister because her Birthday is May 4th. Would you like to join us?
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream, softened Breyers Chocolate Ice Cream 1.5 Qt
- Prepare cake according to package directions; bake in a 9×13 inch baking dish and cool completely.
- Use ice cream that comes in a rectangular carton. Remove the carton and, using a piece of string or dental floss, cut the ice cream in half lengthwise (long side to long side) and place the two layers side by side on a piece of waxed paper.
- Place the cooled cake over the ice cream. Trim the cake and ice cream so that the edges match.
- Place a board or serving platter over the cake, hold onto the waxed paper and board, and flip the ice cream cake over. Remove the waxed paper and smooth out the seam between the ice cream slabs.
- Cover with waxed paper and freeze until very firm. Decorate as desired.
