Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Cut the cake in half crosswise. Spread slightly softened vanilla ice cream evenly over one half.
- Top with the other half of cake and press gently. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Slice into individual sandwiches with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.
- Serve immediately or wrap and store in the freezer.
Notes
- Wrap sandwiches tightly in parchment to avoid freezer burn.
- Let the ice cream soften slightly before spreading for easier assembly.
- Chilling the knife helps with clean cuts.
- Use a ruler for even sandwich sizes if desired.
