Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake
Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake
Ingredients
Cake Layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup plain yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 cup whole buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, at room temperature
Ice Cream Layer:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 large fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly
chopped (2/3 cup)
1/4 cup strawberry preserves
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (from 1
[14-oz.] can)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pt. strawberry sorbet, softened
Topping:
1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
(optional)
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar (optional)
Directions
Prepare loaf pan for Cake Layer:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat an 8 1/2- x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan
with cooking spray; line with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on 2
long sides.
Prepare the Cake Layer:
Whisk together flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and
salt in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk, oil, and egg; whisk to combine.
Bake Cake Layer:
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake until edges are golden and a wooden pick inserted into
center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer loaf pan to a wire rack. Let
Cake Layer cool completely, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the Ice Cream Layer:
Line another 8 1/2- x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment
paper. Beat whipping cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer on high speed
until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
Gently fold in chopped strawberries, preserves, condensed
milk, and vanilla (for a rippled appearance, stop stirring before berries and
preserves are fully combined).
Add ice cream to loaf pan:
Spread mixture evenly in pan. Freeze, uncovered, until firm,
about 1 hour.
Top ice cream with sorbet:
Remove from freezer; spread sorbet evenly over ice cream.
Return to freezer.
Trim the Cake Layer:
Remove cooled Cake Layer from loaf pan. Using a serrated
knife, trim the domed top of Cake Layer to make it flat and even.
Add Cake Layer to Ice Cream Layer:
Remove Ice Cream Layer from freezer. Place Cake Layer, cut
side down, on top of sorbet. Cover and freeze until Ice Cream Layer is solid,
about 6 hours.
If desired, prepare the Topping:
Stir together strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl until
combined. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until strawberries begin to release
their juices, about 10 minutes. (If making the cake ahead of time, wait until
just before serving to stir togethe the Topping.)
Remove cake from pan, and top with strawberries:
Remove ice cream cake from freezer. Run a butter knife along
the edges to loosen from pan. Invert onto a platter; top with strawberry
mixture, if desired. Serve immediately, or cover tightly with plastic wrap and
freeze up to 1 month.
