Chocolate Vanilla Frozen cake

Prep time: 20 min
Cooking time: 40 min
Yield: 12-16

Ingredients

    Moist chocolate cake:
  • 200 g flour (1 and3/4 cups)
  • 300 g sugar (1 and 1/3 cups)
  • 90 g unsweetened cocoa powder (3/4 cups)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 ml buttermilk (4/5 cup)
  • 125 g butter, melted (1 stick)
  • 200 ml freshly brewed hot coffee (4/5 cup)
    • Ice cream filling:
  • 1 l vanilla icecream (33 fl oz)
    • Chocolate frosting:
  • 200 ml heavy cream (4/5 cup)
  • 50 g butter (1/2 stick)
  • 250 g dark chocolate (9 oz)
  • chopped almonds to decorate

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour (or use baking spray) two 9-inch baking pansand set aside
  2. Stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract and beat until smooth
  4. Add hot coffee, and mix well. The batter will be very runny (probably that is why the cake is so moist)
  5. Distribute batter between the two pans and bake on middle rack of oven for about 20-25 minutes
  6. Wait 15 minutos before unmolding. Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack
  7. Take the icecream out of the freezer a few minutes before starting to assembly the cake, to soften and make it more spreadable. Line a mold with paper parchment (the size of your cakes, mine were 8 inches after baking and cooling)
  8. Place a cake inside de mold, spread the icecream over it, and top with the other cake. Freeze, if possible 24 hours
  9. Next day, prepare the chocolate frosting. Pour cream on a medium saucepan, bring to boil, remove from heat, and add chopped chocolate and butter. Allow to rest for a few minutes, and then stir until dissolved.
  10. Place cake on a wire rack, and pour frosting over it, being careful to cover the cake completely. Drop some chopped almonds over it, and freeze again until you are going to serve it.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.  As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.  Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from  Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C  sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp
