Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup (56g) salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (104g) sugar
1/4 cup (58g) sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
3/4 cups (98g) all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
1 tbsp (15ml) water
Blue gel icing color
Two 1.5 quart containers vanilla ice cream
Red gel icing color
2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Red gel icing color
Sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Prepare an 8 inch cake pan with a circle of parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides. 2
  • . To make the cake batter, beat the sugar and butter together until light in color and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Don't skimp on the creaming. 3.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. 4.
  • Add the egg whites and mix until well combined. 5.
  • Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then add half of the dry ingredients to batter and mix until well combined. 6.
  • Add the milk and water and mix until well combined. 7.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined. 8.
  • Spread the cake batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. 9.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Set the cake aside to cool. 10
  • When the cake has cooled, lined two 8 inch cake pans with clear wrap that covers the bottom and sides of the pans. 11
  • Remove the dome from the top of the blue cake layer, then place it in the bottom of one of the cake pans. 12
  • Soften the cartons of ice cream. I let mine sit out for about 15-20 minutes, then added all but about a quarter of the ice cream to a large bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir it well until it all comes together to a consistency similar to soft serve ice cream. Add half of the ice cream to another bowl and set it in the freezer for a few minutes while you work with the other half. 13
  • Add the white vanilla ice cream to the top of the blue cake layer and spread into an even layer. Set the cake/ice cream in the freezer to freeze completely. 14
  • Remove the remaining half of the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and color it with red gel icing color. 15
  • Add the ice cream to the other prepared cake pan and spread into an even layer. Freeze until firm. 16
  • Once both ice cream layers are firm, remove the blue cake layer/white ice cream from its pan and place on a cardboard cake circle or serving platter. Keep in mind that it will need to fit in your freezer. 17
  • Remove the red layer from it's pan and set on top of the white ice cream layer. Place cake back in the freezer. 18
  • To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. 19
  • Frost the outside of the cake with the whipped cream, leaving about 1/3 of a cup or so leftover. 20
  • Place the cake in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes so it stays firm. Color the remaining whipped cream with the red gel icing color. 21
  • Press your sprinkles onto the sides of the cake, then pipe swirls of the red whipped cream around the top edge. Freeze cake until ready to serve.

RED WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM CAKE



Red White And Blue Ice Cream Cake image

Red and blue layers of moist vanilla cake and vanilla ice cream make the most festive 4th of July cake ever! You won't believe how easy it is to make your own ice cream cake!

Provided by Elizabeth Marek

Categories     Dessert

Time P1DT50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

14 ounces cake flour
13 ounces granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 ounces egg whites (room temperature)
4 ounces vegetable oil
10 ounces buttermilk (slightly warm and divided into two cups evenly)
6 ounces butter (unsalted and softened)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 Tablespoon super red food coloring, I use Americolor gel colors
1 Tablespoon electric blue food coloring
48 ounces vanilla ice cream
16 ounces Heavy Whipping Cream
3 ounces Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons Powdered Gelatin (I use KNOX)
2 Tablespoons Cool Water
1 1/2 teaspoons Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons Red White And Blue Sprinkles (For garnish)

Steps:

  • NOTE: It is SUPER IMPORTANT that all the room temperature ingredients listed above are room temperature and measured by weight so that the ingredients mix and incorporate correctly. Learn more about how and why to use a scale for baking in my tutorial.Heat the oven to 335º F/170º C
  • Prepare two 8"x2" cake pans with cake goop or preferred pan spray.
  • Divide your buttermilk in half. Combine 1/2 of the buttermilk with the oil and set aside.
  • Combine the other 1/2 of the buttermilk, egg whites and vanilla together, whisk to break up the eggs and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment attached. Mix for 10 seconds to combine.
  • Add your softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low until mixture resembles a coarse sand (about 30 seconds). Add in your buttermilk/oil mixture and let mix until dry ingredients are moistened and then bump up to med (setting 4 on my kitchenaid) and let mix for 2 minutes to develop the cakes structure. If you don't let your cake mix on this step your cake could collapse.
  • Scrape your bowl and then reduce speed to low. Add in your egg white mixture in three parts, letting the batter mix for 15 seconds between additions and mix until smooth.
  • Divide your batter in half (I weigh mine to make sure both pans are even)
  • Add your red food coloring to one bowl and the blue food coloring to the other bowl and mix until combined.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes at 335º F/170º C until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly but the cake has not begun to shrink yet from the sides of the pan. IMMEDIATELY TAP PAN FIRMLY on countertop once to release the steam from the cake. This stops the cake from shrinking.
  • Let cakes cool for 10 minutes inside the pan before flipping them out. The cake will shrink a bit and that is normal. Flip onto a cooling rack and let cool for a few more minutes.
  • Wrap your warm layers in plastic wrap and place them into the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours but ideally, 24 hours. (You can also freeze the cakes multiple days in advance.)

Arrange another layer of 9 ice cream sandwiches on top of the cake layer. Repeat with the remaining layer of cake and 9 ice cream sandwiches. Chill in the freezer while you prepare the topping.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM "CAKE"



Red, White and Blue Ice Cream

Layers of ice cream and sorbet give this crazy-easy "cake" undeniable coolness. The perfect make-ahead dessert for your Fourth of July celebration!

Provided by Cindy Rahe

Categories     Dessert

Time 6h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pint raspberry sorbet
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pint blueberry ice cream
Whipped cream, berries, sparkler candles, if desired

Steps:

  • Spray 8-inch round cake pan (or springform pan) with cooking spray; line with a parchment paper circle on bottom and parchment paper strips around side.
  • Soften raspberry sorbet at room temperature about 10 minutes or until just spreadable. Spread evenly in bottom of pan; place in freezer for about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Repeat this step with vanilla ice cream - the idea is that the white is in the center of the red and blue - freeze again until firm, and finish with the final layer of blueberry ice cream; freeze the whole cake for several hours - at least 4 - until very firm.
  • Once the entire cake is firm, gently lower the bottom of the pan into a bowl of warm water to loosen the parchment paper and lightly melt the edges of the ice cream cake. Place a cake plate over the top of the pan. Gently turn the cake pan and plate upside down, and shake gently to loosen. It should plop onto the cake plate. OR, if you use a springform pan, gently release the form (after dipping in warm water to loosen), and place the cake onto a cake plate, while leaving the springform base in place for easier transfer. Either serve immediately, or refreeze the whole cake until ready to serve. Decorate with whipped cream, berries and sparkler candles.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING



Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Cake With Whipped Cream Frosting image

Such a pretty cake and so easy to make. Everyone raved about it, but as a warning when making, be sure to take the cake out of the freezer at least a half hour before trying to cut and freeze as the cake layer freezes HARD!! Prep time does not include time to soften ice cream. When it came to frosting, I was worried about having enough for decorating so doubled the frosting amount and while I had a lot left over, don't think it would have been enough for frosting and decorating without it
