Rosie's going to give you a wonderful recipe
for a delicious ice cream cake dessert.
I made this for Mama Hawthorne's birthday.
My ingredients:
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans
Mix all ingredients together.
This will be a very thick batter.
Spoon the mixture into a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish.
You need to use your hand to press it out evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven.
Oooh.
Look how it rose!
Don't bother with the toothpick test.
It's supposed to be gooey.
Let cool completely.
I chilled both my bowl and my beaters
(the chilling helps the cream whip better),
then whipped up a pint of whipping cream
along with a little sugar (maybe 2 - 3 tablespoons)
and a tablespoon of vanilla.
When the cake is cooled,
crumble it into pieces and ...
... fold them into the whipped cream.
Spread into a clean 9 x 13 dish
and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
Here's the shot I took at home.
When I served the cake to Mama Hawthorne,
I put a candle on it
and Sister Hawthorne wanted me to light it.
Errr ... Sister Hawthorne,
I don't think that's advisable
what with the oxygen tank and all.
Sister would have blown us all to Kingdom Come
with one strike of a match.
Mama Hawthorne thought that was pretty funny.
