A Slice of Summer

Ditch the double-dip cone for this decked-out cake layered with ice cream bread and flavors from your favorite pint, then topped with chocolate fudge sauce and a jumble of jimmies.

With bread-baking on the rise these past couple of years, people have gotten creative in order to satisfy their cravings. One such innovation is the beloved three-ingredient ice cream bread, made with softened ice cream, self-rising flour and a touch of additional sugar. Create the tender novelty with any flavor you like—think butter pecan, vanilla or chocolate chip-but be sure to use the full-fat version. Each scoop of melty goodness combines with the self-rising flour (i.e., all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt) for a can't-get-any-quicker quick bread. Enjoy subtly sweet slices toasted with butter and jam. Or make a return to dessert by cutting it crosswise and layering it with you guessed it!-more ice cream for an unconventional yet delightful take on an ice cream cake.
