Ice Cream Bread/Cake?

Yea the title does not lie I have made a few different things over the years, but this one threw me for a loop when a friend back from my S1 days (Jessica) suggested it to me on facebook. Just two ingredients flour and high test ice cream. After wiping it up in my kitchen it makes for a uniquely sweet and creamy bread/cake.

Yield: 1 loaf of ice cream bread.



Ingredients:

Self-Rising Flour: 1-1/2 c [180 g] (Make sure you have or buy self-rising otherwise you will end up with a brick)
High Test Ice Cream of Choice: 2 c [260 g] (Do not buy the low fat or fat free I have not tried it but from comments it does not work)

What you'll need is a mixing bowl, a 8"x4" bread loaf pan and a pre-heated oven at 350F.

First off my poison of choice for this very unique bread is Red Velvet from Market Pantry (Targets "cheap" but good brand). [Aside: Does anyone else notice that many the Archer Farm's/Targets premium brand spices are per ounce are less than the Market Pantry and McCormick spices?] For some reason I've had a craving for Red Velvet lately so that's why this strange flavor ended up in this recipe.

Next weigh or measure out the ingredients.


Once everything is weighed out put into a mixing bowl and mix until the flour is well blended with the ice cream.

Once mixed, grease or use a non-stick spray (I personally prefer Pam non stick spray) in the bread pan then  pour/scoop the batter into sed pan.

Smooth the batter so that it covers the bread pan evenly.

Place in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes and check by inserting a wooden toothpick in the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean it is done.

 Pace on wire cooling rack for 15-20 minutes to allow the bread to cool.
Once cool serve. For the best taste serve with the remaining ice cream you used in the bread.

This is a little aside about the bread. Personally alone the bread seems to be missing something. Like most cake like breads it usually needs some frosting or ice cream to enhance the flavor/texture of it. I've made it once and I may or may not make it again. For a party or get together with friends it would seem like a very surprising desert that most people would like especially if it is paired with ice cream on the side or on top. 

Let me know what you think if you get the chance to make it. Also comment what it is like with different flavor ice creams. 

In Christ,

Dan
