Hi friends, How is your Christmas preparation going on? What did you plan to bake? If you haven’t decided yet, then try this Ice Cream Cake with just 4 ingredients.
Ice Cream Cake
I got the inspiration for this cake from this site. It is my friend Vidhya’s blog. We came to know about each other through blogging and she is one of the people who encouraged and helped me in blogging.
As the days are getting colder, I want to finish up the Ice cream that was lying in my freezer. I don’t want to eat it as such but to use it in any recipe. That’s when I stumbled upon her recipe and without a second thought, I wanted to try it.
How to make Ice Cream Cake
When I say Ice cream cake, it’s not the usual Ice cream sandwiched Cake. It is a cake baked using Ice cream. You can use any flavored Ice cream. I made a little tweak in the recipe though. It was a hit in our family. Both the kids and my husband loved it.
You need just 4 ingredients as the title says. Just Flour, Ice cream, Baking powder, and Sugar. You can add any nuts, chocolate chips, tutti frutti to the batter when you bake. It’s all up to your imagination. I used homemade Mango Ice cream for this recipe and made it in two pans one with tutti frutti and another with Chocolate chips. Both were great.

Hi Latika, indeed a super idea! Gonna be trying soon.. should the icecream be at room temperature or we can use from the freezer directly?
Hi, the ice cream should be softened at room temperature. I hope you try this recipe. Thank you.
I tried this recipe with few modifications and the muffins turned out to be quite fluffy and soft. They taste good when plain and heavenly after some frosting with chocolate. Thank you for this great recipe.
