I thought this was great! I had to add a little something though! I made homemade Ben & Jerry's Strawberry ice cream and bought an Angel Food Cake from WholeFoods. Layered it in a class bread pan...angel food, dry quaker oats, ice cream...repeat! IT WAS DELICIOUS...i absolutely love oatmeal in pretty much anything, and it worked great with this. I find that even though it doesn't look AMAZING in the dish, it didn't matter, because it was simply delicious! THANKS for the idea!

Easy but bland and not a very pretty presentation.

So I took some liberties but stayed true to the concept (kinda). I decided to use the vanilla creme cake and purchased Blue Bell vanilla ice cream (boy am I glad it was on sale, so good!). I cut the pound cake into three layers. Layered with cake, ice cream, cake, ice cream and last layer of cake. Froze to firm up the ice cream. Then I spread cool whip like icing all over cake and added decorations (was my daughter's birthday cake). EVERYONE not only loved it but were highly impressed that I'd made it! The cool whip hide the fact that it looked messy due to my imperfect technique (first time doing something like this). It came out so delicious and easy!! Next time I'll try the chocolate creme cake and rocky road ice cream. The possibilities are endless!

Today was my daughter Ashley's birthday and she loves angel food cake. As much as I love cooking that's how much I loathe baking, which was one of the reasons this recipe caught my eye. I'm sure both of my Oma's are looking down in despair! Anyway, like others, I changed it up a bit. Instead of breaking up the cake, I split it, put the ice cream on the bottom layer, topped it and glazed it with "Tunisianswife's chocolate glaze on this site. This was a great start Susan and we all (especially Ash) thank you for simple but delicious submission!

We prefer chocolate, so we used that instead of the strawberry ice cream. Also served it with some raspberrys. Great! :)

This cake came out great, except that you can see all the imperfections in the cake on the sides from the layers of icecream and ripped up cake. Also, if and when you put icing on the cake, it doesn't go over too well on the sides and gets quite messy.

I wasn't impressed with this recipe, it was dry. My mom said it would be better if I made my own angel food cake instead of store bought. I will probably try that and see if it makes a difference.

Very, very good! It was so easy, I expected it to be kind of bland, but it was really great!

Great recipe! As suggested by other reviewers, I sliced the angel food cake with a serrated knife and then… Just pick your favorite ice cream and toppings and go crazy! Do prepare the day before and put on the freezer, take it out when you serve dinner or about a ½ an hour before you need to serve it. I’ve made this three (3) times and friends keep asking me to make more! You can make a sauce to complement the ice cream you used, if you want to be fancy and/or the occasion demands it (use chocolate syrup for kids!). Last time (for a friend’s 40th) I used strawberry sauce (laced with wine) to soak the cake, it was really nice. Thank you! I don’t have to bake cakes anymore!!!!!

This is delicious! I just made it for a birthday cake and used strawberry ice cream and added confetti sprinkles to the batter for a festive look. I did make a modification, however--instead of layering I just mixed the angel food chunks in with the ice cream. Thanks for the great recipe!

my boyfriend loved it... thanks guys!!!

This was a good recipe, it was a nice mixture of cake and ice cream.

Adaptation: Layer angel cake. Layer peach ice cream. Layer raspberry pie filling. Repeat first two layers. Serve with Tipsy Peach Sauce made either with whiskey, peach brandy or Chambord Liquor.

totally yummmmmmmmmm!!! Good job susan

5 stars, says it all

This was the best ice cream cake I've ever had. Very easy and taste very good. Husband I loved it. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

I sliced the angel food cake into three layers and used vanilla ice cream to construct the dessert on a plate. I froze overnight and then applied a layer of raspberry sherbet - kind of like a (raspberry) creamsicle. Served with a simple raspberry sauce, everyone loved it!

my mother used to make this but cut the angel food cake into 5 thin layers and added fresh strawberries and and drizzles of choc sauce on each layer and then froze it for a couple hours while we made dinner and ate. it was after doing the dishes we had dessert. drizzle a little choc sauce over each slice. i hadn't thought about this cake in years. thanks marilynrg
