How to Make Rum N Raisin Ice Cream Cake

  1. Combine 1 cup raisins, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange rind, 1 teaspoon mixed spice, and ¼ cup dark rum in a bowl. Let stand overnight to allow the raisins to plump and absorb the rum.
  2. Line a 19cm square cake tin with plastic wrap, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal. Freeze the prepared tin until needed.
  3. In a large bowl, gently fold 1.5 liters of softened vanilla ice cream with the rum-soaked raisin mixture, ½ cup chopped dark chocolate, and ½ cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts).
  4. Spoon the ice cream mixture into the prepared frozen cake tin. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Carefully lift the cake from the tin using the overhanging plastic wrap. Place onto a serving platter.
  6. Decorate with chocolate curls and dust generously with cocoa powder. Let the cake soften slightly at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving for optimal enjoyment.
