Description
Semi-Homemade Ice Cream Cake. Looks impressive, but could not be simpler!
Ingredients
Scale
For Filling
- 4 Cups Sliced Strawberries
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 3 TBS Lemon Juice
For Cake
- 1 Pound Cake (I used a frozen pound cake, but can be fresh!)
- 1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream
For Frosting (Whipped Cream)
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 2 TBS Powdered Sugar
- 1tsp Vanilla
Instructions
Strawberry Sauce
- Add strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to deep saucepan.
- Heat on medium until it begins to boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until thickened (usually 15-20 minutes).
- Remove from heat and cool in refrigerator.
Whipped Cream
- Add cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to stand mixer with whisk attachment.
- Beat on med-high until stiff peaks form.
- Set aside in refrigerator.
- (Can mix by hand, just keep whisking!)
Assembling Cake
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap – make sure there’s plenty on the sides, this helps when you’re ready to get it out of the pan.
- Cut pound cake to fit into the pan (normally trimming the dark edges will accomplish this).
- Then cut into thirds lengthwise.
- Place a layer of pound cake in the pan.
- Then add 5-6 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
- Top with half of the strawberry sauce. (Make sure it is cooled!)
- Set in freezer for 30 minute.
- Repeat with remaining cake, ice cream and sauce, ending with the 3rd piece of pound cake.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set in freezer for 2-3 hours.
- Once completely frozen, invert pan onto serving plate and remove cake.
- Carefully peel off the plastic wrap (if needed use a sharp knife to clean up edges).
- Take the whipped cream and frost, then place back in freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Garnish with berries and serve!
Notes
