Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) box angel food cake mix plus any ingredients listed on the box
  • 4 quarts ice cream ideally 2–3 different flavors

Toppings

  • sprinkles, candies, crushed cookies or chocolates (optional)

Instructions

  • Make angel food cake as directed on the box and let cool completely.
  • While cake is cooling, remove ice cream tubs from the freezer to soften just enough to be able to spread.
  • Remove cake from the pan and tear it into small pieces.
  • To layer the cake: Spread about one-third of the softened ice cream in the bottom of an angel food cake pan, then add half the cake pieces from one of the bowls. Repeat layering, adding another layer of ice cream followed by the remaining half of the cake, and then finish with a final layer of ice cream. Freeze overnight.
  • To remove the cake from the pan, fill a large bowl with hot water and dip the bottom of the pan into the hot water for a few seconds. Place a plate on the top of the pan, then flip it over. The cake should slide right out onto the plate. The outer layer of the cake will be a little melted. Add any desired toppings at this point, then place cake back into the freezer to firm it up.
  • Freeze for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.

Notes

Keeping It Cold: If you are hoping to transport this cake to serve at an outdoor party, we suggest buying a block of dry ice. Store the cake with the dry ice in a cooler. Be sure to give the cake enough time to thaw a bit before serving.
Ice Cream Flavors: We love to change the flavors up for this cake. Here are some of our favorite ice cream combos:
o Cookies and Cream + Cookie Dough
o Lemon + Strawberry
o Mint Chocolate Chip + Cookies and Cream
o Birthday Cake + Cotton Candy (kids love this one!)
