This post is sponsored by Land O’Lakes. Oh, do you guys see the layers within this ice cream cake?! They’re so close to perfect! I’ve made a lot of fun ice cream recipes this summer, but I think this cake is my favorite. Not only is it really easy to make, but the layers are made up of my very favorite flavors…chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. And the homemade fudge sauce? Well it really does make this cake extra special
Let me tell you the quick details
The idea for this cake started with my homemade fudge sauce, which is one of my favorite things to make in the summertime. I love to serve it with ice cream any night of the week. I used my staple butter that I keep stocked in my fridge at all times, Land O Lakes® Butter. You guys know how much I love my Land O Lakes® Butter. I’ve used Land O Lakes® Butter since before starting HBH, so it’s a tried-and-true favorite. I love this high-quality salted butter, especially for my homemade fudge sauce. You can really taste the rich buttery flavor and hints of salt in Land O Lakes® Butter. And it really shines through in this fudge sauce. To make the sauce, just add the butter, some cocoa powder, milk, sugar, and honey to a saucepan. Melt everything together until it’s smooth and creamy, then stir in the vanilla…simple!
Now let’s layer this cake up
Start with the chocolate ice cream, then graham crackers, then a heavy layer of fudge sauce. Now just repeat the layers, but with the coffee ice cream (or gelato, which is what I like to use), and then the final layer of vanilla ice cream. Ideally, you want to freeze the cake overnight! (coffee chip ice cream/gelato) (chocolate ice cream)
Finish the cake up and serve!
When you’re ready to serve, invert the cake onto a serving plate. Top with all that remaining fudge sauce and then a thick layer of whipped cream. For a pretty presentation, I love to dust the cake with cocoa powder and top with chocolate shavings! Slice and eat…simple, easy, and so darn delicious! These layers together are magical, but the fudge sauce adds that extra layer of amazingness. This cake may be a bit over-the-top, but I’m all for it! As we head into these late August days, it’s fun desserts like this that bring us all together!
