Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cake Recipe - praline ice-cream

Method

• Make your cake following the directions on the box.
• If you are making the white cake you will likely blend the cake mix with water, oil and 3 Large eggs.
• Pour the batter into a greased 9- by 13-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 min.
• When cake is done, let it cold to room temperature.
• When the cake has cooled, slice it in half and place each half on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet, or possibly a platter or possibly tray which will fit into your freezer.
• Use a sharp serrated knife (a bread knife works great) to slice the ice cream through the middle, box and all, so which you have two 2-inch thick sheets of ice cream.
• Peel the cardboard off the ice cream and lay a half upon each of cakes.
• Slice the edges of the cake all the way around so which the cake is the same size as the ice cream on top.
• Work quickly so which the ice cream doesn't heat.
• When both cakes have been trimmed, place them into the freezer for an hour or possibly two.
• When you are ready to frost the cake, take the two pints (4 c.) of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer for 20 to 30 min to soften.
• Stir the ice cream so which it is smooth, like frosting.
• Use a frosting knife or possibly spatula to coat each cake with about 2 c. of ice cream.
• Cover the entire surface thoroughly so which you can't see any of the cake.
• Pop the cakes into the freezer for an hour or possibly so to set up.
• When the cakes have set, fill a pastry bag (with a fancy tip) with white frosting to decorate all around the top edge of the cake.
• Also decorate around the bottom of the cake.
• Use colored frosting and different tips to add in inspired artistic flair and writing on the cake, as needed.
• Cover the cakes and keep them in your freezer till party time.
• When you are ready to serve the cakes, leave them out for 10 to 15 min before slicing.
• Cut the cakes with a sharp knife which has been held under warm water.
• This recipe yields 2 cakes (approximately 10 servings each).
• NOTES : Tidbits - You may wish to use another flavor cake mix such as chocolate or possibly devil's food for this dessert - even low-fat cake mix works.
• It's up to you.
• Just follow the directions on the box for making the cake in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.
• You can also use any flavor of ice cream.
• Just be sure to get it in a box.
