Simple Ice Cream Loaf Cake
There are times when you lose track of what you are to do, right? It is happening to me just now. I had forgotten that I had signed up for Recipe Swap and would have forgotten it had my partner Seema not tagged me in her write up. Thank you, Seema! And thank you Facebook! I would have done the unforgivable act of forgetting to reciprocate my fellow blogger's achievements.

Seema blogs at Mildly Indian, do not go by the name it is a delicious repository of some delicious recipes both traditional Indian and of course western. Her recipe index is something I am in love with she has from active lifestyle food, alkalising diet, geriatric diet, teen diet, weight loss diet! I told you it is a repository. There are quite a few that I have wanted to try to make and have them bookmarked. So it would have been simple.
But I have managed to land in a soup... I have signed up for Bake-a-ton too! In bake-a- ton we post 3 days a week just baked stuff.
Easy enough?
It is if you have your list ready and baked and written and pictures edited.
I am at none of the above. And hence I am scrambling with pictures that I had taken ages ago and kept just for reference (I will like to think my style has improved and I am not fishing for compliments).
Anyway, I needed a baked dish to make up for the big gaps in my schedule. So I went through Mildly Indian. Managed to land on one delicious bake that needs just 2 ingredients.
Ice cream loaf!
Once I read the recipe I was like is it possible? But then I went and kept the leftover well-set ice cream on the counter. And came back and baked this yummiest cake in the world. The finish is so smooth and the taste it is yum. In fact, I think that I will use the recipe the next time I need to do frosting. Seema my apologies for being a Doubting Tom!
My cake is small for I had just one cup of ice cream I have halved the ingredients. The baking powder is not in the original recipe. I told you I was Doubting Tom. The chocolate chips happened to be there, after all, it was Akanksha’s birthday and she was to bake for her friends. the edges are not even as i was lazy to cut out the sides.

This is very different from what I expected. Never heard of melted ice cream in a cake. Very interesting.

😀
Vaishali Sabnani says
are you serious ? Archana ! Now I am doubting you ! Seriously I need to try this loaf , I have loads of ice cream in the frig , will give it a try soon . You think it would have a good shelf life ?
ArchanaPotdar says
That was my reaction exactly. The loaf does not have a good shelf life.
Pavani says
Ice cream cake with few ingredients sounds interesting and inviting. Beautiful baked.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks.
Seema Doraiswamy Sriram says
Wonderful pick Archana and perfect execution as ever. I love the moistness of your loaf as compared to mine. Yes, I didn't add the baking powder as the ice cream felt so fluffy( couldn't find a better word).
How about the sweetness? Mine was more on the bread side of the story, we had it with jam.
The shelf life in the refrigerator is about 3 weeks, as a lot of dairy elements, keeping further may not be great.
You have taken it up a notch higher with this one, thank you, Archana
ArchanaPotdar says
OMG! Seema you certainly know how to make a person feel like Royalty! Thanks a lot!
The shelf life is not good especially here in Goa. A small piece that kiddo wanted to eat and hence I kept got spoilt too soon. (4 days) I made the mistake of keeping it outside. The chocolate chips added to the sweetness plus the ice cream nut butterscotch with caramel is sweet. 😀
Must say I really enjoyed the cake and in case I get orders will love to make this one simple no hassle cake.
Ritu Tangri says
I have never heard about ice cream cake, though I have made cake filled with ice cream. Wonderful share Archana. I have some ice cream lying in my fridge that nobody is consuming because of cold weather. Now I can use that 🙂
ArchanaPotdar says
😀
Priya Srinivasan says
wow arch, the texture of the loaf is amaing!!! I recently saw somebody posting this ice-cream loaf cake, with just 2 ingredients this is a steal!!! I m definitely trying this soon!!!
ArchanaPotdar says
Ping me Priya when you do. I will love to see your loaf.
Neha Aggarwal says
I just wanted to check whether 1/2 tsp baking powder would be sufficient to bake this cake..as I was seeing other bloggers video as well..all of them have added at least 2tsp
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks for reaching out Neha Aggrawal. I sorry to confuse you but in my recipe, I have used 1/2 tsp of baking powder and you can see that the texture is great. Go ahead and try it. Share your pictures with me.
