This ice cream cake recipe is a lifesaver - you can make one big ice cream cake or several mini desserts! Choose my easy chocolate cake as a base or make a healthy version using watermelon rounds instead of cake!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a standard size baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Whisk them well until no more lumps appear. Make a well in the center and add in the remaining ingredients, then whisk them to form a batter. Pour the batter over the parchment paper and spread it evenly. Bake the cake for 8-10 mins at most.
Get creative: Combine cherry ice cream with chocolate cake to make a perfect frozen Black Forest ice cream cake. Think of your favorite ice cream flavor—lemon cheesecake, or banana and peanut butter - and pair them with any type of cake, cookies or fruits.
You can also make this summer ice cream cake in one large cake, or loaf pan.
Always remember to line the pans with plastic wrap and stack up layers of cake and ice cream, then freeze!
