Time 5h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Basic Chocolate Cake, recipe follows, baked and cooled
3 cups strawberry ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups raspberries and/or quartered strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking spray
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch process)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; scoop the ice cream on top and spread it to the edge using an offset spatula. Top with the second cake layer, then run the spatula around the sides to smooth the ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Make the topping: About 30 minutes before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and let stand at room temperature. Toss the berries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl; set aside until ready to serve. Beat the heavy cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the vanilla in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until medium peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread on top of the cake. Top with the berries and their juices.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the cocoa mixture in a steady stream until just combined, then finish mixing with a rubber spatula. (The batter will be thin.)
  • Divide the batter between the prepared pans and tap the pans against the counter to help the batter settle. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

SOUR CHERRY AND LEMON ICE-BOX CAKE



Sour Cherry and Lemon Ice-Box Cake image

Sour cherries seem to be an elusive fruit. Finding them fresh in the supermarket is nigh on impossible and finding them at a greengrocer or farmers market seems almost as hard. Thankfully, the frozen variety is a little easier to track down and I hoard them when I see them. I would encourage you to get your hands on some for this dessert. You can use regular sweet cherries, but the flavor won't be quite the same, so double the lemon juice, reduce the sugar a little, and add a few drops of almond extract to get you close. You can either freeze this, akin to a semifreddo, which is my preference, or simply chill it in the refrigerator, which will, of course, give it a softer finish.

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

Unsalted butter or neutral-tasting oil, for greasing
For the sour cherry compote:
600 g (1 lb 5 oz) frozen pitted sour cherries, defrosted
120 ml (4 fl oz / ½ cup) kirsch
100 g (3½ oz / ½ cup) caster (superfine) sugar
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
For the filling:
250 g (9 oz / 1⅛ cups) mascarpone, at room temperature
35 g (1¼ oz / ¼ cup) icing (powdered) sugar
800 ml (28 fl oz / 3⅓ cups) double (heavy) cream
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
150 g (5½ oz / ½ cup) lemon curd
270 g (9¾ oz) digestives, graham crackers or speculoos biscuits

Steps:

  • Lightly grease the baking tin and line the base with parchment paper. If you want to remove the cake from the tin to serve, you can line the tin with a piece of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides.
  • For the cherry compote, place the cherries, kirsch, sugar and lemon juice into a large saucepan and cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the fruit softens and releases a lot of juice. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cherries to a heatproof bowl, leaving the syrup in the pan. Continue cooking the syrup until it is reduced to about 240 ml (8½ fl oz / 1 cup).
  • Place the cornflour in a small bowl and whisk in a little of the cherry syrup to form a smooth paste. Add this to the cherry syrup in the pan and simmer, stirring, for a couple of minutes, or until slightly thickened. Pour the syrup over the fruit, cool slightly, then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate until cool.
  • For the filling, whisk together the mascarpone, icing sugar, 600 ml (20 fl oz / 2½ cups) of the cream and the vanilla in a bowl until the mixture just starts to hold its shape. Add the lemon curd and continue whisking until the mixture holds soft peaks.
  • To assemble the dessert, spread a thin layer of the lemon cream over the base of the prepared tin, then cover with a layer of biscuits, breaking them up as needed. Spread over half of the remaining lemon cream and then dollop over about a third of the cherry compote. Repeat the layering a second time and then finish with a final layer of biscuits.
  • Cover the tin with clingfilm and refrigerate or freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Just before serving, whip the remaining cream to soft peaks and spread over the dessert. Cut into slices and serve each portion with a spoonful of the remaining compote.
  • Store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks; if refrigerated, it will keep for 3-4 days.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready.
  • Use fresh, ripe berries and cherries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your ice cream cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Chill the cake layers before assembling: This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Use a high-quality ice cream: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the cake.
  • Let the cake freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This berries and cherries ice cream cake is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of moist cake, creamy ice cream, and fresh berries, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone.
