Layerd Icecream cake with butterscotch sauce.


Tastes like icecream ,but in the form of a cake with layers..guess what?
yup..ICECREAM CAKE!:)
Who doesn't like ice-cream...and who doesn't like cake?If you can get both as ur birthday cake or as part of a celebration? yum! right.

Well...the best part about this cake is, you can customize the layers according to the person's or family's liking and no baking involved.. obviously,its icecream!
It is definitely worth all the effort..specially coz it looks and tastes like the way you want :)

Just make sure you get all the ingredients before hand.There are many celebrities in this recipe
my favorite would be the Butter scotch sauce;-)...I like calling it my dessert queen!

The butterscotch sauce tastes simply beyond words and almost everyone would like its flavor.It has become one of my trade marks coz i use it with anything and everything.
It can be used as a fondue dip,with fruits as dipping, with plain cakes, mashmellows, biscuits, icecream , even drizzle it over a milk shake, custard or even on plain bread..the options are endless....

To make it,
1)Just heat some butter,golden syrup,white sugar and brown sugar

2)When its all melted and mixed together add in the fresh cream.

3)Once its merged and bubbling away,add some vanilla essence.

4)Transfer it to another bowl and let it cool down.

Golden syrup and brown sugar is available in most of the supermarkets..once i made it without the golden syrup.Its was not bad though. i guess its the brown sugar and vanilla essence that makes all the difference.

To make the icecream cake,its important to get a SPRINGFORM PAN. It comes in small,medium and large sizes.It is like a cake tin which has a separate-able base,which can be removed by loosening the clutch it has on the sides.It can be very useful in baking cakes or even puddings.

So to make the cake,
1)Get a sponge cake base or you can even used crushed cookies mixed with butter and press to the base of the spring-form pan to make the base of the cake.

2)add a layer of your favorite icecream..plain vanilla will do fine.I used praline and cream.

3)next layer would be some oreo cookies or nuts or fruits or even another layer of sponge cake or chocolate cake.

4)Another layer of icecream, a diffrent flavor or the same one.

5)I topped it up with some cut peaches and a pine apple ring in the middle.(u can top it up with crushed oreo cookies or chocolate shavings.)

6)Its important to work fast since we are dealing with icecream and keep it to set in the fridge.

7)Loosen the clamp and transfer the cake to a cake stand with or without the cake tin base.
An important tip is to line the cake tin with some cling film,so that it doesn't stick to the sides and you can detach it out without much difficulty.

Lastly i drizzled it with some warmed butter scotch syrup just before cutting the cake(u can substitute with chocolate syrup too).
PURE BLISS INDEED!!!!!!
