Delicious Ice Cream Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Ice Cream Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab two 8-inch round cake pans and give them a light coat of nonstick cooking spray, ensuring the bottoms and sides are well covered.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine your cake mix, water, oil, and eggs.

4. Step 4

   Mix everything together until it’s just moistened, then beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it’s nice and smooth.

5. Step 5

   Now, evenly pour the batter into your prepared cake pans, making sure they’re filled equally.

6. Step 6

   Pop the pans into your preheated oven and let them bake for 32 to 38 minutes.

7. Step 7

   You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Step 8

   While the cakes are baking, let’s prepare the ice cream layer.

9. Step 9

   Take a clean 8-inch round cake pan and line it with plastic wrap, leaving about 6 inches hanging over the sides.

10. Step 10

    Slice your softened ice cream into large pieces and press them firmly into the lined pan, smoothing the top as you go.

11. Step 11

    Once that’s done, fold the plastic wrap over the ice cream and place it in the freezer for about an hour to firm up.

12. Step 12

    When your cakes are done baking, allow them to cool in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes.

13. Step 13

    After that, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take around 30 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Once cooled, place one of the cake layers on a freezer-safe plate.

15. Step 15

    You can save the second layer for another delicious treat later; it freezes beautifully for up to 4 months.

16. Step 16

    Next, let’s make the cookie topping! In a medium bowl, mix your chopped cookies with the chocolate topping until everything is well combined.

17. Step 17

    Spread this delightful cookie mixture evenly over the top of your cake layer.

18. Step 18

    Now, it’s time to bring out that frozen ice cream layer.

19. Step 19

    Carefully invert it onto the cookie layer, making sure the smooth side is facing up.

20. Step 20

    Return the cake to the freezer for another hour to set.

21. Step 21

    While the cake is chilling, let’s whip up some luscious whipped cream icing.

22. Step 22

    In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream and whisk it on medium speed.

23. Step 23

    Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy and sweet topping.

24. Step 24

    Spread this whipped cream icing generously over the cake, then pop it back in the freezer for an additional hour.

25. Step 25

    If you’re feeling creative, decorate the cake with extra icing and sprinkles before returning it to the freezer.

26. Step 26

    You can let it chill for at least 30 minutes or keep it frozen for up to a week, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.

27. Step 27

    When you’re ready to serve, slice into this delightful creation and enjoy the smiles it brings!.
