Ice Cream And Cake
Both ice cream and cake are popular desserts in their own right but they also go together very well and can form a wonderful 'combination' dessert.
Here's a great example - hot chocolate fudge cake with a scoop of delicious homemade chocolate or vanilla ice cream on top. Wonderful!
Then there are cake-based desserts made by commercial dessert companies which feature ice cream as a top layer - eg. a banana nut cake or chocolate cake with your favorite ice cream on top.
Finally there is the definitive ice cream cake which you might see either in the shape of a cake such as at a birthday party or other special celebration or as a single block of layered ice cream and cake, one layer on top of another. It's believed that ice cream cake evolved as a natural development of the trifle and that there are recipes for ice cream cake dating back to the late 1800s.
