    Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that’s just ice cream shaped like a cake. That’s just an imposter.

      The only ice cream cake I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot, my in-laws love the stuff) has a layer of cookie crumbles inside. I’ve never seen a single one that has any sort of cake in it whatsoever. I also did a google before posting my comment and not a single recipe I found had cake in it either. So I’m very sorry, but no, ice cream cake does not (typically) have cake in it.

        It is atypical at this point. But that doesn’t make it any less real, or what I believe an ice cream cake should be.

          It’s not that fussy, you just need the freezer space and a plan. Slightly softened ice cream is easy to layer on and picking the right frosting keeps it from cracking. (I used a sweet marscapone) Totally worth it, btw.

            I am a simple man, anything more than “mix and dump in the pan and then throw it in the oven” is fussy to me
