The BEST Ice Cream Cake!

That is really one of many final celebrations desserts! You get 4 layers of distinctive decadence in every slice of cake.

And with it’s mixture of do-it-yourself layers and store-bought layers it’s easy sufficient but completely spectacular sufficient. The cake and whipped cream are made contemporary whereas the ice cream and fudge sauce are store-bought to save lots of time.

I don’t actually care to confess what number of slices I used to be capable of polish off inside a weeks time. Let’s simply say this cake is dangerously scrumptious!

The chocolate cake is completely fudgy (one thing between brownie and cake texture) and also you wouldn’t consider how simple the batter is to make. It was impressed by my Straightforward Chocolate Cake however I adjusted it for a barely smaller dimension and swapped buttermilk for bitter cream so it didn’t freeze icy.

I like to recommend making the cake a day prematurely so it has loads of time to agency up fully within the freezer earlier than serving.

Spoil your self this weekend with this chocolate ice cream cake, no want to attend for a birthday to make one thing this tempting!
