The GOAT Banana Bread Ice Cream Cake
INGREDIENTS:
2 pints Udderly Ridiculous Vanilla Bean Lavender Ice Cream
2 cups AP flour (Or gluten free flour if you prefer)
4-5 very ripe bananas mashed (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter 1 stick, softened
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, set aside.
2) In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Stir in eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture and chocolate chips into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3) Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for at least 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool another 30 minutes. Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften.
4) Slice the completely cool loaf of banana bread into three layers lengthwise using a serrated knife.
5) Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and place the bottom layer of banana bread into the pan.
6) Spread 1 cup softened ice cream on top. Top with the middle layer of banana bread, the remaining ice cream, and then the top layer of banana bread. Freeze overnight or for at least 4 hours.
7) Slice. Add toppings if desired, and enjoy!
