Grandma Maggies Ice Cream Cake

CAKE:

• 1 pkg Strawberry Duncan Hines cake mix
• 1 pint (2 cups) melted ice cream (Strawberry or Strawberry cheese cake)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 can FROSTING
• or frosting recipe of your choice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. grease & flour a 9 x 13 baking pan
3. mix the ingredients with an electric mixer on low for 1 minute. Beat an additional 2 minutes on medium. Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. , approx. 35 min.
4. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then invert onto a cake board or cookie sheet and let cool completely.
5. I will place the cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes before cutting into the desired shape.
6. To make the numbers, I choose a font that I liked on my computer , then enlarged it.
7. I cut the paper numbers into 3 separate pieces, then layed them out on the cake.
8. I punched holes in the cake with a cake tester ( or you could use a toothpick) all around the paper numbers.
9. I removed the paper, and with a long, sharp knife, cut along the dotted line. Using the same knife, I then cut the numbers in half horizontally to put a layer of icing in the middle.
10. I then re-assembled the cake pieces on a cake board into the desired numbers. You can now frost or decorate in any way you choose!
