Hello! I'm Emily and I'm going to show you how to make a homemade ice cream cake
0:05
Bake your cake and divide it into layers that are no more than one inch thick
0:09
I've baked two cake layers which I'm dividing in half to make four layers in
0:13
total. Wrap the layers tightly with cling film or saran wrap and freeze them for
0:17
at least one hour. Take your ice cream out of the freezer and leave to thaw for
0:21
20 minutes. Meanwhile, line a cake pan with cling film or saran wrap. Place your
0:27
first layer of cake in the pan. Once you can stir the ice cream it's ready to go
0:32
Spread a layer onto the cake in the pan and then add another layer of cake. Pull
0:37
the cling film or saran wrap out, working your way around the cake pan to make
0:41
sure none gets stuck in the ice cream as it refreezes. Continue layering cake and
0:46
ice cream in the pan, always letting the ice cream thaw for 20 minutes before spreading. My cake is going to be taller than the height of my pan. When I've
0:54
made it as high as the pan and let each layer freeze, I'm going to remove the
0:58
cake with the cling film or saran wrap and put it in the freezer without the pan. Now I'm going to line the pan again and continue building my layers in the
1:05
pan. After spreading on a layer of ice cream, I'm going to place the rest of my
1:10
cake on top so it sticks to the ice cream as it freezes. After an hour in the
1:14
freezer, the layers have set and my cake is ready to decorate! I'm turning my cake
1:20
out onto a plate and smoothing the sides with a spatula. I've decided to frost my
1:24
cake so I'm flipping it over onto a cake board and centering it on the board. Now
1:28
I'll put it back in the freezer until I'm ready to frost it. Buttercream
1:32
frosting gets very hard in the freezer so I'm using sweetened whipped cream for frosting instead. I'm mixing two cups of heavy whipping cream with a quarter of a
1:40
teaspoon of vanilla and one tablespoon of powdered sugar. Whip it until stiff
1:44
peaks form but watch it carefully because if you over mix it it will get grainy. This doesn't look quite thick enough so I'm going to beat it for a few
1:52
more seconds and that's perfect! Work quickly as you frost the cake because
1:58
the cake and frosting will get soft after a few minutes. I definitely don't
2:02
advise frosting it under hot studio lighting. When you're happy with the
2:06
frosting, put it back in the freezer for at least two hours to set. Add any details
2:11
and freeze until serving! Ta-da! Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more
