In this article, we will provide a recipe for a classic ice cream birthday cake and all the ingredients and steps you need to make it.

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup whole milk

For the ice cream:

• 2 pints of your favorite ice cream flavor
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the toppings:

• Whipped cream
• Sprinkles
• Chocolate chips
• Caramel sauce
• Any other toppings of your choice

Instructions

• To make a homemade ice cream cake, you can just begin the process by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Now whisk them together until well blended.
• Take a large bowl and beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy in texture.
• Now add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Then stir until the ingredients are just combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, ensuring an equal amount is placed in each. Place them in the preheated oven and then bake for about 20-25 minutes. You can check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center, which should come out clean when the cakes are fully baked.
• Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans.
• To make the ice cream, let 2 pints of your favorite flavor soften for 10-15 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
• Line one cake pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang. Spread the softened ice cream into the pan and smooth with a spatula. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the freezer and place one cooled cake layer on top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for another 30 minutes.
• Repeat with the second cake layer and freeze for at least 2 hours.
• To assemble the cake, remove from the freezer and plastic wrap. Invert onto a serving platter and frost with whipped cream.
• Decorate with toppings like sprinkles, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce. Freeze for 30 minutes to set the whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!

A few tips to keep in mind while making homemade ice cream cake

• Any ice cream flavor can be used, and the cake layers and ice cream can be made in advance and assembled when ready to serve.
• If you don’t have cake pans, a 9×13-inch baking dish can be used instead.
• Finally, be sure to cover the cake well with plastic wrap before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
