Hello my dear readers,

Our recipe today is one of my favorite childhood cake recipes. As you can imagine I have many, many favorite cakes or desserts. And I can’t feel guilty. I already admit my addiction to chocolate, Nutella and so on. And so on is also addiction to the ice cream. Ok, let’s be quite for a moment. People have issue, people have problems. And we don’t want to talk about it. So, let’s keep tradition alive and keep going. Like nothing to see here. Yes, I know…but let the silence talk. Will you?

Of course not. And because of that let’s talk about our cake recipe post today. Homemade, easy and helps when everything or almost everything is not working for you. Hmmm…what do you think? Are you ready for the most amazing ice cream cake recipe you will ever try…

DESCRIPTION OF SUPER EASY ICE CREAM CAKE

First of all you won’t believe how easy is to make this ice cream cake at home. That’s why it is called Super Easy Ice Cream Cake. (just in case you have some kind of trust issue).

Like always let me start with 5 words to describe our recipe today:

  • smooth
  • refreshing
  • sweet
  • creamy
  • luscious

Also, this easy ice cream cake is the cake my grandmother used to make. It is not like the store bought version. Full of additives and words we don’t understand. This cake will bring back childhood memories when ice cream cake was made with tons of eggs, milk, flour, sugar and people were skinny.

Super Easy Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Ingredients

6 egg whites

6 TBSP of sugar

1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp baking powder

6 1/2 TBSP flour (all purpose)

1/2 cup milk

Ice Cream Homemade Filling

6 egg yolks

3/4 cup icing sugar

1 and 1/3 cups milk

2 TBSP sugar

1/2 TBSP corn starch

1 Dr. Oetker Vanilla pudding

1/2 cup butter, unsalted (room temperature)

Decoration: 1 cup of heavy cream, chocolate and so on…

Important: Eggs must be room temperature.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING HOMEMADE CAKE

Line bottoms of two 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper. (do not grease the sides or the bottom). Set aside.

First mix eggs whites and sugar until until firm peaks and sugar is incorporated.

Then add the flour and baking powder. You are not going to use mixer at this point.

Add the flour and fold with a spatula. Stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain.

Important: Be sure the flour is incorporated.

Pour the batter into 6 inch prepared pan.

I used 2 and 1/4 cups of batter for each baking 6 inch pan.

Bake at 375 F for about 14 to 15 minutes. (start checking after 10 minutes)

Remove from the oven and let is cool for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour 1/2 cup milk into the glass or measuring cup.

After 5 minutes, remove the parchment paper from the cakes and soak each cake with 1/4 cup of milk.

Set aside.

How do you soak the cake?

Poke the cake with toothpick and use a pastry brush to coat it with milk.

Making Ice Cream Homemade Filling

Mix egg yolks and icing sugar well, until double in size.

In separate cup mix vanilla pudding, corn starch and 1/3 cup milk until smooth.

Your next step is to add milk mixture into the egg yolks and sugar.

Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.

Meanwhile, add 1 cup cold milk into large pot.

Bring the milk to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the egg/pudding mixture.

Return to heat and stir non stop for about 3 minutes or until desired thickness.

Remove from the heat, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool.

While the filling is cooling, mix butter until smooth.

Add cooled yellow filling to the mixed butter.

Mix all ingredients until incorporated.

ASSEMBLY OF Super Easy Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Place 1 layer cake on your cake stand (or at the bottom of the pan, cake plate or whatever you are using.)

Add ice cream yellow filling.

Cover with second layer cake.

Transfer to the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Remove from the freezer and starting at the top and working your way down, apply the yellow filling.

Smooth out with a scraper. This step takes practice. So, don’t be hard your yourself if it is not perfect.

Just keep practicing until you like the way your cake looks.

 Transfer to the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

Next Day: Mix heavy cream and cover the top of the cake.

Decorate with shaved chocolate, ground walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or sprinkles.
