Our third recipe is a classic ice cream sandwich from Martha Stewart’s website.

Ingredients

½ cup of unsalted melted butter

½ cup of sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

½ teaspoon of salt

½ cup of flower

¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

2 pints of ice cream of your choice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Butter a pan and line with parchment paper

Whisk butter and sugar together; add in egg, vanilla, and salt; add cocoa and flour until smoothly mixed. Spread in prepared baking pan. Bake until cake is dry to the touch and edges begin to pull away from the sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely in pan.

Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface. With a serrated knife, halve crosswise. Place one half of cake, flat side down, on a large piece of plastic wrap. Spread with ice cream, then top with remaining half of cake, flat side up. Return ice-cream sandwich to baking pan, and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

Unwrap sandwich; using a serrated knife, cut into 8 rectangles, wiping off blade between each cut. Serve ice-cream sandwiches immediately.
