Creamsicle Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients

  • Orange flavored cake
  • vanilla Ice Cream
  • Whipped Topping

Cooking Instructions 

  1. Place the cooled cake on a cutting board so the top of the cake is facing up. Use a serrated knife to carefully trim off the raised portion of the cake to create a level, flat top. It helps to place one hand on the top of the cake while you slice. Line a baking pan with plastic wrap and place one half of the cake in the pan, trimmed side down — the original bottom of the cake is a firmer surface and will hold up a bit better when you add the ice cream. Add one scoop of ice cream at a time to create a thick layer. If your ice cream is really hard, you can bring it out five minutes before you begin to scoop to soften it a bit, but keep in mind that it will also get softer as you’re scooping

2. As best as you can, mold the ice cream into an even, solid layer from edge to edge. If you bought ice      cream in a rectangle box, you can also slice it like bread and add whole rectangles to the cake.Place        the second half of the cake on top of the ice cream, trimmed side down. Press down gently and                 evenly to secure it in place.

3. Spread thawed whipped topping on top of cake. (Also, if your ice cream is starting to melt quicker            than you’d like, you can put the cake and ice cream layers in the freezer for a couple of hours to                 tirm it up a bit before you add the whipped topping.)It’s okay if the edges aren’t smooth or even,             and if you have drips like in this picture. You’re going to end up slicing them off to create apolished         look!

4. Remember all those drips and uneven edges from before? Poof — all gone! (And you get to do some       taste-testing with those scraps.)To serve, use the plastic wrap as “handles” again and place the ice         cream cake on a serving plate. Carefully pull the plastic wrap out as you hold the cake in place. You         might want to have someone help you with this part — four hands are better than two.
