Layers of pound cake, strawberries, and ice cream make this a decadent and creamy Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Cake!
Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Cake
Hi, everybody! My name is Katerina, but you can call me Kate! I am the author of the food blog, Diethood! Don’t worry. There’s nothing diet-y about it. It’s just a play on words. In fact, my blog’s tag line is, “Not a Diet-Food Food Blog”. See! No diets.
Seriously, though, just look at this cake. Does this cake look like a green smoothie to you? No, of course not! It’s a cake! AND an ice cream! I don’t know about you, but in my world Cake + Ice Cream = LOVE. The best math formula, everrrr! You know what’s sorta embarrassing about this cake? It’s like 3, or 8 already made ingredients, and there’s no baking involved. All you have to do is assemble it! Yaha! <—- (said in my best “Ross” voice. P.S. I’m obsessed with Friends!). Do you just want me to shut up and give you the recipe?
Ingredients for a Simple Ice Cream Cake
- cold heavy whipping cream
- pure vanilla extract
- sugar
- all-butter pound cake
- strawberry ice cream
- whole strawberries
How to Make AN Ice Cream Cake
Prepare whipping cream. In your mixer’s bowl, combine cream, vanilla, and sugar. Beat the mixture on high until stiff peaks form; about 2 to 3 minutes. Put it in the fridge until ready to use. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on opposite sides to lift the cake out. Place half of cake slices in a single layer in bottom of prepared pan. Using an offset spatula, spread the ice cream over cake. Layer sliced strawberries over ice cream. Spread half of the whipping cream over the strawberries. Place the rest of the cake slices over the whipping cream. Spread the rest of the whipping cream on top of the cake slices. Let cake set in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight. When ready, lift the cake out of the pan, cut and serve.

Love this. And what a great choice for a guest blogger! I’m so excited to check it out and read more awesomeness from Kate!
Thank you SO much, Nadia! 🙂
It should be sliced into 8 individual servings first and then put together?
Hi, Melissa!
The cake needs to be assembled, frozen, and then cut into slices to serve. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
I just checked out your blog. It won’t be the last time. Very nice. Thanks for these recipes. The cake look really good.
Thanks SO much! 🙂
Kate, I love reading your blog and I’ve tried at least two of your recipes already on my own blog! I swear I’ll never be ready for swimsuit season if I keep reading your posts! Haha, but I’d love to try this! I’ll end up making my own cake just because pound cake makes me feel fat and I don’t really enjoy the taste of that much better.
🙂 Thank you, Olivia!!
Yum! That’s the perfect summer dessert!
I agree! It’s SO gooooood! 🙂

This looks amazing. Anything with strawberries is a win…and add ice cream? Done deal. I could probably eat the entire thing by myself right now. 😉

Looks so yummy! I am featuring your recipe this evening during the link party!
Thank you Desiree!
This is a must try, love your photography!
I am visiting from the 36th Avenue Link party and I must say this ice cream cake is phenomenal! I pinned it and I think I know what I want for my birthday cake! Normally I go for a good strawberry shortcake or Angel Food cake, but this has got my name written all over it! It’s a combination of some of my very favorite things!
