What separates this Ice Cream Sandwich Cake from any other
Is the authentic ice cream sandwich CAKE part of it!
You know that thin cake that gets stuck all over your fingers while you try to lick all that melt-y ice cream from the sides!
I love the ease of the round cake style for this one
But I have also baked the cake into sheets to cut them into traditional rectangles of ice cream sandwich cake
Nowadays I just can’t bring myself to make homemade ice cream!
There are so many awesome dairy free alternatives out there and each one is better than the next!
But by all means if you and Martha Stewart want to make your own ice cream recipe, go for it!
Notes for Success
I am using 7″ cake pans to make this entire recipe and you will bake the Ice Cream Sandwich Cake recipe into 2-7″ pans. Then mold your entire ice cream cake into those same pans after cooling.
You can also divide the batter into 2-1/8 sheet pans instead, for rectangle shaped ice cream sandwiches
