Here’s what I propose we do with that creamy, minty, dream boat ice cream: MAKE AN ICE CREAM CAKE! I’ve loved ice cream cake since I was a wee little Minimalist Baker. I mean, cake AND ice cream? Come on. But I haven’t had it since my dairy sensitivity really flared up last year and said, “Hey, lady, stop that. Dairy makes you feel like crap.” Fine, body. Although you’re right, you’re still a giant party pooper. This ice cream cake is made with our 1-Bowl Vegan Chocolate Cake! It’s the perfect chocolate cake for vegan newbies and skilled bakers alike because it requires just one bowl, no fancy ingredients, and comes together in about 1 hour. Plus, it’s mega delicious. Read the comments. While your cake is baking and cooling, you can get on making your ice cream (if you haven’t already done so, champ). Once your cake is cooled and your ice cream is softened, it’s time to build that cake. You can do so in two ways (probably more). Basically you’re just trying to layer the cake and ice cream in as uniform fashion as possible. I went with a loaf pan for easy sculpting, but you could also use a cake stand and just frost the cake with the ice cream like “frosting.” If you do this, you’re fancy and I’m jealous of your skills. The best part is, it doesn’t have to be perfect or even pretty because it tastes AMAZING. You guys are going to LOVE this cake.

May I suggest something? Make this cake for yo’ birthday! Or make this pie, I mean, come on. Either way, make this cake! Cheers, friends. P.S. You know the drill. If you make this cake (or just inhale the ice cream on its own), let me know! Tag your photo #minimalistbaker on Instagram so I can see. It makes my day, seriously. (Why wouldn’t you want to make my day, Rhonda?)
