Ice cream cake, as the name suggests, has a layer of ice cream in between two layers of cake. This cake, although not well-known in England, is quite popular in America, China, and Australia. It is kept frozen until it is to be served, and just before serving, it is thawed as much as it can be sliced, allowing the layer of ice cream to stay in its solid form. This cake is perfect for family gatherings and parties, as it is loved by kids and adults alike. Black forest Ice Cream Cake Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 quart vanilla or cherry ice cream (softened)
• ¾ cup Hershey's cocoa
• 1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (unsifted)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3 cups whipping cream
• 1 cup strong black coffee
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cherry pie filling

Preparation Pack the ice cream into a cake pan, and freeze the covered pan for about an hour or two. Combine the sugar, baking soda, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a mixer bowl. Mix the coffee, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and oil together, and add this mixture to the previous mixer bowl. Beat this mixture for approximately 2 minutes in the mixer; it is better if it grows thinner. Now pour the mix in 2 round cake pans, and bake for half an hour or so. To check, put a tester inside the cake; it is ready if the tester comes out clean. Let the cakes cool down. Place them on a plate, top one cake with the ice cream, and place the other cake on top of this. You can also cut the cakes in layers, and top them with layers of ice cream alternately to create more than 3 layers. Now, take a decorator's tube, cover the cake with cherry fillings, and freeze it again. Take the cake out of the freezer an hour before serving. Ice cream Cake with Caramel Ingredients
