Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake:.
• Preheat the oven to the temperature required according to the directions on the cake mix box. Grease and line the bottom of two 9-inch cake tins with baking paper.
• Tip the cake mix into a large bowl and add the eggs, vegetable oil and water following the directions on the box for the quantities needed and mixing directions.
• Divide the batter between the cake pans and bake for the time given on the cake mix box.
• Tip the cake layers out onto wire racks, peel the baking paper off and set aside to cool completely.
• For the filling:.
• Let the strawberry ice cream soften for a few minutes before scooping it out into a large bowl. Use a wooden spoon to beat the ice cream until you get a buttercream-like texture. Add the diced strawberries and fold together.
• Assemble:.
• Line a tall 9-inch springform cake pan with plastic wrap, allowing a few inches to overhang on the outside of the cake pan. Place the first cooled cake layer in the pan. Spread the softened strawberry ice cream in an even layer over the whole thing. Place the second cake layer on top. Cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.
• Decorate:.
• Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries and vanilla wafers together in a food processor until broken down into a breadcrumb-like texture.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and from the springform pan. Peel away the plastic wrap carefully.
• Use a metal offset spatula to spread the vanilla frosting in a thin, even layer over the top and sides of the cake.
• Quickly press your strawberry-vanilla wafer powder over the top and sides of the cake.
• Pipe 6-8 peaks of vanilla frosting onto the top of the cake using a piping bag fitted with a wide star tip. Top each of these with a halved strawberry.
• Serve immediately.
• Tip:.
• Line your pan with plastic wrap to help unmold it later.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment and butter the parchment. Lightly dust the pans with flour and tap out any excess.
• Whisk the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in 1 tablespoon vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until the batter is just combined, about 20 seconds (do not overbeat).
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cake is just golden and springs back when gently pressed, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 20 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto the rack, remove the parchment and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften slightly. Combine both flavors in a large bowl and stir together with a rubber spatula. Line one of the cooled cake pans with plastic wrap and fill with the ice cream in an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm but not rock solid, about 45 minutes.
• Uncover the ice cream and invert onto one of the cake layers; discard the plastic wrap. Top with the second cake layer, gently pressing it into the ice cream. Smooth the sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, pulse 2 cups strawberries in a food processor until liquefied. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a rubber spatula; set the puree aside. Combine the remaining 2 cups strawberries, remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the lemon juice in a small bowl; toss.
• Combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Beat in the strawberry puree.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and frost with the strawberry whipped cream. Return to the freezer until the whipped cream hardens, at least 45 minutes or overnight. Top with the macerated strawberries. Let the cake soften 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Slice cake horizontally into 3 layers and freeze for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine strawberries and sugar in a bowl and set aside to macerate for 10 minutes. Once macerated, remove 1 cup of strawberries to a separate bowl for topping; set aside.
• Create a sling in a loaf pan using plastic wrap. Place the bottom cake layer into the loaf pan. Spread the bottom cake layer with strawberry ice cream. Add macerated strawberries on top of the ice cream and spread whipping cream over strawberries. Repeat layers, adding equal amounts of strawberry ice cream, macerated strawberries, and whipping cream.
• Place in freezer until frozen, about 4 hours. Remove from loaf pan and cut into slices. Serve with remaining macerated strawberries and whipping cream.

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix as the label directs for a 9-by-13-inch cake. Bake and let cool 15 minutes in the pan on a rack, then transfer the cake to the rack to cool completely.
• Trim the domed top of the cake with a long serrated knife to make it level. Cut the cake in half horizontally to make 2 layers. Trim a 3/4-inch strip from each long side; reserve the strips and trimmings.
• Cut the carton off the ice cream and set the ice cream block on a cutting board. Slice lengthwise into thirds.
• Arrange the ice cream on the bottom layer of the cake. Let soften, then smooth with an offset spatula to cover the cake, leaving a 3/4-inch border on the long sides.
• Press 1 reserved strip of cake against each long side of the ice cream layer. Reserve the remaining 2 strips of cake. Place the second cake layer on top of the ice cream. Freeze 1 hour.
• Cut off a corner of the frozen cake to look like a bite. Remove the ice cream from the trimmed bite and reserve the cake trimmings. Return the cake to the freezer.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crumble the reserved cake strips and trimmings on a baking sheet. Bake, tossing occasionally, until golden, 10 minutes. Let cool, then crumble together with the freeze-dried strawberries.
• Finely crush 1 tablespoon of the strawberry-crumb mixture; combine with 1 tablespoon frosting to make it pink. Cover the whole cake with the remaining white frosting. Press the strawberry-crumb mixture into the frosting, without covering the bite or the opposite short side.
• Spread the pink frosting inside the bite. Add a line of crumb mixture at the bottom of the bite. Freeze until firm, at least 15 minutes. Insert a wooden spatula handle or large craft stick into the cake before serving.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch cake pan with plastic wrap so that the plastic overhangs the edges of the pan.
• Arrange the ice cream sandwiches upright around the circumference of the cake pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Place 1 cup of the chopped strawberries and the granulated sugar into the bowl of a food processor or a blender. Process until the strawberries are pureed and the sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.
• Put half of the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl and let soften until spreadable but still very thick. Fold in 1 cup of the chopped strawberries. Remove the pan with the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and pour half of the ice cream mixture into the center. Next, pour in the sweetened strawberry puree. Pour the remaining half of the softened ice cream on top of the puree; smooth to level. Immediately transfer the cake to the freezer to chill at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Remove the cake by pulling the ends of the plastic wrap upward. Lift the cake from the plastic wrap and place on a serving plate.
• Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Place the freeze-dried strawberries and pound cake in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until large crumbs form. Spread the heavy cream on the bottom half of the ice cream sandwich cake. Immediately press in the crumb mixture; reserve the leftover crumbs.
• Top the cake with scoops of the remaining vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the strawberry syrup and scatter the remaining 1/4 cup chopped strawberries on top. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Place the waffle cones on top of three scoops of the ice cream.
• Serve the cake immediately or transfer to the freezer to store.

Steps:

• For the crust: Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• To a 12- to 14-cup food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Process until the cookies are completely broken up. While the machine is running, slowly stream in the melted butter. The mixture should now resemble wet sand and should hold together when pressed in your hands. Add the mixture to the prepared pan and evenly spread all over the base and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes. Reserve the food processor bowl to make the shortcake crumbs.
• For the shortcake crumbs: Reattach the food processor bowl and blade. Add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Add the freeze-dried strawberries. Process the mixture until it's a very fine, cohesive consistency. With the machine running, slowly stream in the melted butter. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• For the filling: When the crust is frozen, scoop on half of the softened vanilla ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing in to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, scoop on the softened strawberry ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, scoop on the remaining vanilla ice cream. Smooth with an offset spatula and top with the remaining shortcake crumbs. Freeze for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, run a knife or offset spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Remove the springform ring and slice the cake into wedges.

Steps:

• Stem strawberries and slice them in half from bottom to top. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar. Stir together and let sit for 30 minutes. We'll come back to these. In the meantime, make the cake.
• Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Cream 9 tablespoons butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well each time.
• Add sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined.
• Add sifted dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just barely combined.
• Pour into greased and floured 8-inch cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep (a springform pan works great).
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. Remove from cake pan as soon as you pull it out of the oven, and place on a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
• After they have sat for 30 minutes (or more), mash the strawberries with a fork in two batches. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon sugar and allow to sit for another 30 minutes.
• To make the icing: combine cream cheese, butter, sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, and dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until very light and fluffy.
• Slice cake in half through the middle. Spread strawberries evenly over each half (cake halves cut-side up), pouring on all the juices. Place cake halves into the freezer for five minutes, to make icing easier.
• Remove from freezer. Spread icing over the top of the strawberries on the bottom layer. Place the second layer on top.
• Add the remaining icing to the top and around the sides, spreading evenly.
• Leave plain or garnish with strawberry halves.
• Cake is best when served slightly cool. The butter content in the icing will cause it to soften at room temperature (this is if you use two sticks).
• Store in the fridge!

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix according to package directions using the 1 1/4 cups water. Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently cut through batter to remove any large air pockets.
• Bake according to package directions. Immediately invert cake; cool thoroughly in pan. Loosen sides of cake from pan; remove cake.
• With a serrated knife, carefully split the cake horizontally into 3 layers. Place the bottom layer and middle layers on freezer-safe platters; spread each layer with 2 cups softened ice cream. Freeze layers for 30 to 60 minutes or until ice cream is firm.
• Place the middle layer, ice cream side up, on top of the bottom layer. Top with the remaining cake layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 6 to 24 hours.
• To serve, in chilled mixing bowl beat whipping cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Remove cake from freezer. Spread top and sides of frozen cake with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries. Serve immediately.
• Variation.
• Chocolate Angel Food Ice Cream Cake: Prepare as above, except add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to cake mix. Substitute peppermint ice cream for strawberry ice cream. Spread 1/4 cup fudge ice cream topping on the top of each of the ice cream layers. Substitute 2 to 3 tablespoons coarsely crushed peppermint candies for fresh strawberries.
• Variation.
• Orange Angel Food Sherbet Cake: Prepare as above, except substitute 1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate for the 1/4 cup of the water and add 2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel to cake mix. Substitute orange, lime, lemon, or rainbow sherbet for the strawberry ice cream. Garnish with orange, lemon, or lime peel strips instead of strawberries.

Steps:

• Spray the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the milk in a small bowl. Working one or two at a time, dip the Oreo cookies quickly in the milk and arrange them in a stack around the edge of a 9-inch springform pan until you reach the top edge. You should have about 6 layers of cookies.
• Place 12 Oreo cookies in a food processor with 1 tablespoon of the milk that you used to dip the cookies. Process until the crumbs just hold together, then place the mixture in the bottom of the pan and press to make into an even crust.
• Top the crumb crust with the thinly sliced strawberries, then top with strawberry ice cream and smooth into an even layer. Top the strawberry ice cream with the strawberry shortcake ice cream and smooth into an even layer. Top with the whipped cream topping and smooth to the edge of the pan. Cover with plastic and transfer to the freezer until set, about 4-6 hours and up to overnight.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and remove the side from the springform pan. Place strawberry halves around the edge of the cake, red side up, leaving a space for the mini oreo cookies. Place the mini oreo cookies, standing on the edge, in the spaces between the strawberries. Shave the freeze dried strawberries over the top to decorate.
• Cut cake into wedges to serve.
