Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed vanilla cake mix
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream (melted but not hot)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 cups Confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, melted ice cream, and eggs. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan(s). Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the frosting, cream the butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the milk, while mixing on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract, then fold in the mini marshmallows. Beat the frosting on medium speed for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting over the top and sides evenly using an offset spatula.
Optional garnish: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the frosting for an extra chocolatey finish.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Incredible Melted Ice Cream Cake!
