Ingredients:
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Fold in the whipped cream mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- Once the cake is cool, remove it from the pan and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Spread the vanilla ice cream over the cake in an even layer.
- Roll the cake up tightly, using the parchment paper to help you. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top of the roll. Slice and serve.
