ice cream cake recipe | ice cream bread recipe | vanilla ice cream cake with step by step photo and video recipe. generally ice cream cake recipes are popularly known as party food and more frequently prepared for weddings and birthday celebrations. it is typically decorated with vanilla frosting or plain chocolate frosting with some cherries and chocolate pieces similar to black forest cake. however this recipe is without any frosting and decorations and is plain spongy vanilla ice cream bread.
to be honest, i am not a huge fan of ice cream cake recipe but i have to admit it is one of the simplest eggless cake recipes. the main advantage of ice cream bread recipe is there isn’t much hassle to prepare the cake batter. in this recipe i have added maida and baking powder to the melted vanilla ice cream. but if you have self raising flour, you can totally skip the baking powder and salt; making it even more easier. in other words, self raising flour is the combination of maida and baking powder + salt with proper quantities.
furthermore some important tips and recommendations for a ideal spongy ice cream cake recipe. firstly, i have used plain vanilla ice cream in this recipe with the combination of maida which would yield a simple vanilla flavoured cake. the same procedure can be applied with other ice creams to prepare the corresponding flavour ice cream. for example, chocolate, butterscotch and black current to name few. secondly, i have not added extra sugar apart from the sugar present in the ice cream. if you feel, it is less, add ¼ cup of sugar or even condensed milk to cake batter. lastly, i have used eggless flavoured vanilla ice cream, but it can also be prepared with egg flavoured ice cream too.
finally i would like highlight my other eggless cake recipes collection with this post of ice cream cake recipe. it includes, vanilla cake, chocolate cake, banana bread, muffins, black forest cake, sponge cake, mug cake, lava cake, milk cake, rava cake and oreo cake recipe. in addition do check my other recipes collection like,
