Chocolate Ice Cream Cake aka Midcentury Modern food fun

The name of this recipe is so misleading- I expected for it to be an “ice cream cake”, not a chocolate cake with ice cream. This recipe can be tailored to your needs so easily. Want regular chocolate cake? Buy that mix. Need to go gluten-free? There is a mix for that. You can even make your own from scratch (see a list of cake recipes at the bottom of this post)

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM CAKE

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix ((along with ingredients on package))
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 3 egg whites
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Bake cake, according to box directions, in a rectangular pan.

  2. Cool and cut in half. (Save second half for another purpose.)
  3. Place cake on waxed paper on a breadboard.
  4. Set in freezer to chill.
  5. Spoon ice cream over cake and chill until firm.
  6. Beat whites until stiff adding a little salt and vanilla.
  7. Add sugar gradually continuing to beat.
  8. Spread over ice cream and place under heated broiler for a very few minutes to brown meringue.

This may be replaced in the freezer for a few minutes if it is necessary.
