Drescription

A pint of melted ice cream gets a second life with this one-bowl cake.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6 3/8 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • 1 pint ice cream, melted, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (about 2 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground warm spices (such as cinnamon or chai masala)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • whipped cream and chocolate shavings, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 8.5- x 4.5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together granulated sugar and coconut oil in a large bowl until combined; add melted ice cream, and stir until fully incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold flour mixture into ice cream mixture until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  2. Bake the cake until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in loaf pan on a wire rack. Remove cake from loaf pan, and let cool completely on wire rack, 1 hour, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add cream, spices, and salt; whisk until smooth, adding additional cream, 1 teaspoon at a time as needed, to reach desired consistency. Once cake is cooled, spread icing evenly over top. Slice and serve.
