  • Fresh strawberries or berries for garnish

  • Sprinkles or crushed candy pieces for topping


Instructions

  1. :
    Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare cake batter according to the box instructions. Pour into greased pans and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

    Soften vanilla ice cream to spreadable consistency. Cut ice cream block to fit cake pan or shape. Press evenly into a springform pan and refreeze for 1–2 hours until firm.

  3. :
    Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread softened ice cream over it evenly. Add second cake layer on top. Optionally frost the cake with a thin layer of softened vanilla ice cream or frosting. Freeze again to set.

  4. :
    Frost the cake with white frosting or buttercream. Add decorative piping, sprinkles, or drizzle chocolate ganache over the top. Garnish with fresh strawberries or other berries.

    Keep cake frozen until ready to serve. Remove from freezer 5–10 minutes before slicing for easier cutting. Use a warm knife for clean slices.

Notes

  • Use softened ice cream for easier spreading and layering.

  • Freeze cake well between steps to maintain structure.

  • Customize flavors by using different cake mixes or ice cream varieties.

  • For a classic Baskin Robbins look, use white frosting with pink accents and cherries.
