Lemon Ice Cream Cake image

Bliss on a hot summer's day. The cooking time includes the freezing time and is only a guesstimate. Please make this cake as close to serving time as possible: you will not want the cake layers to freeze too much, as it will make the cake cutting more difficult.

Time 5h

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 gallon lemon sherbet or 1/2 gallon ice cream
1 white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cups cold water
1/2-1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
12 ounces Cool Whip, thawed (1 tub)
1 drop yellow food coloring (optional)
1 lemon, zest of, cut in superfine strips

Steps:

  • Allow ice cream or sherbet soften slightly.
  • Scoop into 9-inch pan line with saran wrap, smooth the surface, cover and freeze for 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease and flour bottom only of 2 9-inch pans.
  • Blend cake mix with egg whites, water and lemon extract.
  • Beat according to instructions on the box.
  • Pour into the 2 pans, dividing evenly.
  • Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean: the top should "spring" back, when lightly touched in the center.
  • Cool 10 minutes in pan, then invert onto wire rack.
  • Cool completely.
  • Trim tops of the 2 cakes even, also trim off all crust (sides and bottom) completely, to have white cake only (makes for a more elegant presentation).
  • Remove ice-cream round from freezer and let sit for a few moments, to make the surface soft.
  • Mix food color into Cool Whip at this time, if you choose to.
  • Put 1 cake round on large plate, add the frozen ice-cream round and top with second cake layer.
  • Push down lightly for the ice-cream to adhere better to the cake rounds.
  • Cover the cake with Cool Whip, making swirls with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle with lemon strips.
  • Return to the freezer until ready to serve depending on the setting of your freezer.
