How to Make Ice Cream Roll Cake

Growing up, I always asked for the same cake on my birthday.  Ice cream roll cake.  It’s angel food cake done in a jelly roll pan, rolled up with ice cream (mint chocolate chip for me!) and decorated with frosting.  This year, after 35 birthdays, I finally asked my Mom for the recipe and attempted it myself.

Ice Cream Roll Cake

You can customize this birthday cake based on your favorite ice cream flavor, frosting, sprinkles, go nuts!

Be sure you let this cake rest plenty of time in the freezer.  It is ice cream, after all, and if you don’t let it chill for a good long time, you’ll have ice cream soup cake.  Not as pleasant as ice cream roll cake.

What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?  Leave me a comment!  I’d love to know if there are other mint chocolate freaks out there.
