Ice Cream Cake Recipe

In a typical assembly, the cake component is baked in the normal way, cut to shape if necessary, and then frozen. Ice cream is shaped in a mold as appropriate, and these components are then assembled while frozen. Whipped cream is often used for frosting, as a compliment to the two other textures, and because many typical frostings will not adhere successfully to frozen cake. The whole cake is then kept frozen until a little before serving, when it is allowed to thaw to the point where it can be easily sliced but the ice cream not melted.It is related to Baked Alaska in that, when cut open, the ice-cream is something of a surprise inside the baked cake. However, unlike a Baked Alaska, the ice cream never goes in the oven.Ice cream cake is a popular party food, often eaten at birthdays and weddings, particularly in North America and Australia. It is not as well known in Europe.
