So after the sugar load of the holidays I had decided I wasn’t going to post any sweet recipes – at least for a week or two. Well, I lasted about one day.
But you see. I woke up this morning and decided to…
Because you see it is my birthday today and I decided to make myself a birthday cake because I also believe that it is o.k. to ….
from ramblewild
Especially on your birthday.
I really wouldn’t mind if someone wanted to give me this cute little Kate Spade number for my birthday either!
I think I may just have to settle for eating cake for breakfast though.
I found a cake recipe for 3 of my favorite things in the Food Network Magazine – vanilla ice cream, angel food cake and malt. I couldn’t pass up the Vanilla Malted Ice Cream Cake. Especially since it’s my birthday!!
I baked an angel food cake from a box mix and then sliced it into thin slices. Try and remove as much of the brown outer edge as possible. It makes for a much prettier cake when it is all white.
Layer those piece in the bottom of 10 inch tube pan (angel food cake pan). Use about half of the cake
Pour a mixture of 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/4 cup of malt powder over the cake.
Top with a layer of softened ice cream.
Repeat the process with the cake/liquid/ice cream.
Use an offset spatula to get an even layer of ice cream.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 4 hours or as long as five days if needed.
Remove from the pan and invert onto a platter.
Whip together 1 cup of whipping cream and 2 Tbsp malted milk powder for frosting. Whip until a stiff peak forms. Spread over the top and sides of the cake.
Then if it’s your birthday add a candle.
And if you want to get really fancy because it’s your birthday, add some washi tape flags too!
Then just sing Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me!!!
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Pretty Lady ! Can you show us a photo of the malt used ? I saw a couple of different ones…and I got confused !
Happy, Happy Birthday!!!

than you and would love a piece?
Happy days will come to you all year!!

The cake looks heavenly. I don’t think I’ve ever used malt flavoring before… not sure if I would like it. I do like whoppers… does it kinda taste like the inside of one of those?
