How to Make 7 Layer Brownie Ice Cream Cake
- Trace an 8-inch circle onto 7 sheets of waxed paper using a cake pan as a guide.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare 2 cookie sheets and an 8-inch springform pan.
- **Brownie Layers:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup water, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the cocoa mixture on low speed.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour until well blended.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 7 waxed paper circles (approximately 1/3 cup per circle).
- Lightly moisten a cookie sheet with water.
- Place 2 waxed paper rounds with batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Spread the batter almost to the edges of the rounds.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the surface looks dry and set but is slightly springy to the touch.
- Cool the baked layers on the cookie sheet on a wire rack for 3 minutes.
- Transfer the layers to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat steps 8-12 for the remaining brownie layers.
- **Assemble the Cake:** Line the springform pan with plastic wrap, allowing enough overhang to cover the top.
- Peel the waxed paper off the cooled brownie layers.
- Place one brownie layer in the bottom of the pan.
- Spread evenly with 1 cup of your favorite ice cream.
- Repeat layers of brownie and ice cream, ending with a brownie layer on top (6 layers of ice cream total).
- Fold the plastic wrap over the top and freeze for at least 8 hours, or wrap airtight and freeze for up to 1 month.
- **To Serve:** Remove the sides of the pan and peel the plastic wrap down from the sides.
- Carefully lift the cake onto a serving plate.
