Description
Delightful fusion of moist cake and creamy ice cream, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 250 g caster sugar
- 250 g unsalted butter, softened
- 4 medium eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 litres ice cream (choose 2–3 flavors)
- Optional: chocolate chips, fruit, or cookie crumbs
- 200 ml double cream
- 100 g dark chocolate, chopped
- Decorations: sprinkles, nuts, or biscuit crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease two 20 cm cake tins.
- Cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
- Fold in the self-raising flour, being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared tins.
- Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the tins on a wire rack.
- Line each tin with cling film, leaving enough overhang to cover the top later.
- Spread the softened ice cream into each lined tin. Sprinkle in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, fruit, or cookie crumbs. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Layer the cooled cake and ice cream by alternating between the two. Cover with cling film and freeze for an additional 2–3 hours until firm.
- Heat the double cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped dark chocolate. Stir gently until melted.
- Remove the cling film from the cake and pour the chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Slice, serve straight from the freezer, and enjoy!
