I adore brownies and always have them with some ice cream, so I felt a cake combined with both elements would be just great! So here you have a brownie based sponge with ice cream in the middle. Please feel free to add any type of nut or even extra chocolate if you wish.
Have a stunning day! And enjoy! Much love D x
INGREDIENTS
60g hazelnuts roughly chopped, some whole
60g self raising flour
130g caster sugar
50g cocoa powder
30g brown sugar
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
⅓ cup milk + 40g milk chocolate melted
1 cup melted butter/low fat baking spread
3 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
Filling
Vanilla ice cream
METHOD
• Preheat oven to 180°c, grease and line two 20cm diameter cake pans
• Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl or food processor
• Add all the wet ingredients, mix well and stir in half of the hazlenuts
• Divide the mixture between the two pans, scatter over the rest of the hazelnuts and bake for 20-25 until a skewer comes out clean when poked
• Leave in the pan to cool for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack
• When completely cool take one brownie half and spread on whipped ice cream and sandwich with the other half
• I like my ice cream soft and runny but you could set it in the freezer before serving
