This 4-ingredient chocolate cake recipe is the best you'll ever try! Quick and easy and with a surprise ingredient that will blow your mind, it's the new chocolate cake idea you've been waiting for. Perfect for an after-school or weekend treat - or even a birthday cake for your next celebration!

Ingredients

2 litre tub Bulla Real Choc Chip Ice Cream

440g box golden butter cake mix

3 eggs

1 cup Betty Crocker Creamy Deluxe Chocolate frosting

Method

  1. Grease a 20cm round cake pan. Line base and side with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above pan edges. 

  2. Spoon 3 cups of the ice-cream into a large bowl, reserving remaining ice-cream for another use. Stand ice-cream at room temperature for about 45 minutes, or until completely melted. (You will need 2 cups.) 

  3. Sift cake mix into the large bowl of an electric mixer, reserving icing sachet for another use. Add eggs and melted ice-cream. Beat on low speed until combined. 

  4. Increase speed to medium. Beat for a further 2 minutes, or until thick. Pour into prepared pan. Smooth over top. 

  5. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven. Stand in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. 

  6. Spread frosting over top of cake. Serve cut into wedges.

     

    TIP! Try making cake with a different flavoured ice-cream – try strawberry or hokey pokey instead. Cake is best made on the day of serving, but can be made up to one day ahead.
