Hello all, i was wondering if i can make a cake and buttercream frosting tasting like ice cream (ie ice cream flavour). I have eaten this before but have no idea how its done.This is not an ice cream cake, its a normal butter cake but it has like a vanilla ice cream flavour,the frosting also tasted like ice cream.Thanks a lot.

I had a bride recently request this, but I have never heard of it. I would think you could add vanilla bean to your cake and icing and it would change the taste. But as far as a specific recipe, sorry, I can't help you.

I wonder if it's a cake made with melted ice cream.

melted ice cream, maybe for the cake itself, but what about the buttercream frosting,the cakes were wedding and birthday cakes and sat outside in the blazing sun in Nigeria for hours. The baker was called Dasilva cakes.

Could this be it? It calls for ice cream flavored powder?
