Strawberry Shortcake with Vanilla Ice Cream Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the shortcake. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together. Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
Place the dough in the cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the shortcake to cool completely.
-
While the shortcake is cooling, prepare the strawberry filling. In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
-
Once the shortcake and strawberry filling are cool, assemble the cake. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the shortcake. Follow with a layer of vanilla ice cream.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until combined. Spread the whipped cream over the ice cream layer.
-
Place the cake in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
-
Before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Slice and serve.
