PIES AND TACOS
This Chocolate Ice Cream Cake is an indulgent celebration of all things chocolate.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, oil, buttermilk, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine. Lastly, add the hot coffee and stir until the batter is smooth and thin.
Make your favorite fudge sauce recipe (or use store-bought), and allow it to cool completely before assembling the cake. You’ll need about ½ to ¾ cup for layering and drizzling.
In one bowl, beat the cream cheese or mascarpone until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Layer cake with syrup, whipped cream, fudge, and ice cream. Top with second cake layer, brush with syrup, and frost. Chill 10 minutes, then add a second frosting layer.
Before serving, top with more fudge sauce, piped whipped cream, and brownie pieces.
This cake is a guaranteed hit.
