Description
This easy Ultimate Birthday Cake with Ice Cream is a three tier homemade cake perfect for any kid party: funfetti cake with cookies and cream ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Ice Cream, Softened
- 1 box (about 18 Oz. Size) Cake Mix, Your Choice
- Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
- 1 carton (8 Oz Size) Cool Whip Thawed
- Sprinkles, As Needed
Preparation
Line a 9-inch round pan with plastic wrap. Fill with softened ice cream of your choice (I used cookies and cream). Freeze for 2–3 hours until set.
Meanwhile, prepare and bake the cake mix of your choice (I used funfetti) according to package directions for two 9-inch round baking pans (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package). Let cake cool for 5–10 minutes in the pan before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Top with ice cream layer (removing the plastic wrap). Then invert the second cake layer on top of ice cream.
Cover the top and sides of the cake with Cool Whip and sprinkles. Freeze another 2 hours until set.
Note: Remember to remove the cake from the freezer for a while (20–30 minutes) before trying to cut the cake. Sometimes cutting the cake is the most difficult part.
