Description

These Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches combine soft, cocoa-kissed red velvet cake with creamy vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgent treat. Perfect for parties, summer days, or whenever you’re craving something sweet and nostalgic.


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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just blended.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  7. Cut the cake in half crosswise. Spread slightly softened vanilla ice cream evenly over one half.
  8. Top with the other half of cake and press gently. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  9. Slice into individual sandwiches with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.
  10. 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.
