 Ice Cream Pound Cake

I have many Pound Cake recipes in my repertoire. I have Whipping Cream Pound Cake RecipeCream Cheese Pound CakeSour Cream Pound CakeGreek Yogurt Pound CakeChocolate Pound CakeBlue Ribbon Pound Cake and the list goes on and on. As I’ve stated before, desserts, in particular, Pound Cake are my most favorite thing to make.

From Scratch Melted Vanilla Ice Cream Pound Cake

Today I made a pound that’s made with melted vanilla ice cream. Ice cream has the same rich and creamy properties that milk or whipping cream does. It yields a pound cake with a small crumb and tender texture.

As well, from Scratch Melted Vanilla Ice Cream Pound Cake has that crusty outside that everyone loves. I typically make pound cakes in a tube pan so that the top stays on top and stays crusty. With a bundt cake, you end up displaying it with the top turned down which messes up that crusty top.

That is my one regret with this cake. I wish I had baked it in my old favorite tube pan.

Out of milk?

Did you know that you can substitute melted vanilla ice cream for milk in any cake recipe? You will use a 1 to 1 ratio. Therefore, it’s one cup of melted ice cream for every cup of milk called for in the recipe. Most noteworthy, measure the ice cream after it has melted. Some ice cream has more air whipped into it than others.

Using a light versus a dark pan as well as sitting it on a cookie sheet (which I do) to bake will affect the baking time. For my cakes, I bake in a light pan on a round cookie sheet.

Most importantly, keep an eye on your cake and start watching it closely after 60 minutes the first time you bake it. Note exactly what you used and how long you baked it for future reference.

I wrote a very detailed post on How to Bake the Perfect Pound Cake. I recommend you hop over and read it.

Baking Tips

  1. Read the recipe through completely at least twice so you know what comes next.
  2. A stand mixer will make your life immensely easier. I can’t imagine all this mixing by hand or even with a hand mixer!
  3. You can use a bundt pan. I used this tube pan. A good rule of thumb when baking pound cakes is to always leave 2 inches from the batter to the top of the pan to allow for rise. As well, always place your baking pan on a cookie sheet to catch any overflows.
  4. Allow your eggs, butter, and dairy to come to room temperature before mixing.
  5. I used pure almond extract. You can use vanilla, but I do recommend using pure vanilla, not an imitation.
  6. I recommend calibrating your oven at least once a year. Read all about how to Calibrate your oven in this post.

  1. I see it calls for plain flour but no salt & baking powder. What makes it rise and if it was left out like flour amount can self rising flour be used?

  2. This sounds so delicious! Has anyone adjusted this recipe to high altitude? I live at 7500 feet and I am afraid to try this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    1. I was gone for the day and just got back and an email about it. It’s correct now, 3 cups. Thanks for letting me know

  3. I’ve read, and reread the recipe, and comments, directions, but I just can’t find how much flour to use. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
