I made homemade Vanilla Ice Cream a couple of days ago, and I had so much of it, that I knew I had to come up with something to make with it, in order to use it up. There’s only so much ice cream that you can give away!
A couple of weeks ago, I was at a local store (The Superstore) and on sale was a silicone pan shaped like a giant cookie! I didn’t know what I was going to use it for, but I knew I needed it. My storage room does not need it, but I did!
Fast forward a couple of weeks and ice cream plus cookie pan equals ice cream sandwich! I wanted a cake-like topping and bottom for the sandwich, and I’d been wanting to use a simple recipe, sometimes called a “wacky cake”. It doesn’t have any eggs, and uses ingredients that were easy to find back in the day. The baking soda and vinegar combine as the leavening agent and make a light fluffy cake which is the perfect pairing for the ice cream. As far as the cake pan goes, you definitely don’t need a new pan for this though, and you can bake the cake in a regular 8″ cake pan if you wish.
If you want to use homemade ice cream, follow our recipe here. But if you prefer, getting yourself a couple of liters of ice cream from the grocery store works as well.
