Ingredients:
- 1 cup eggs
- 3 cups water
- 1/3 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 1/3 cups Cool Whip
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease/flour a 13 x 9 inch cake pan.
-
Mix, bake, and cool cake completely: Prepare the cake batter according to your preferred recipe or using a boxed mix. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
-
Prepare the cake layers: Once cooled, remove the cake from the pan and carefully split it horizontally into two even layers.
-
Assemble the ice cream layer: Place the bottom cake layer back into the cake pan. Cut the vanilla ice cream into even slices and arrange them evenly over the bottom cake layer.
-
Add the top layer: Gently place the top cake layer over the ice cream layer, creating a sandwich with the ice cream in the middle.
-
Freeze: Cover the cake pan and place it in the freezer. Allow the cake to freeze completely, preferably for a few hours or overnight, until the ice cream is firm.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and cut it into squares.
-
Final touch: Spoon warmed hot fudge sauce over each square of cake. Dollop with Cool Whip and garnish with a maraschino cherry on top, if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before assembling with the ice cream to prevent melting.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to easily slice through the frozen cake layers.
- Customize with your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or caramel sauce.
