I am about to be so ovah this damn winter!
Two days ago it was in the 70’s. I put our coats away, I whipped out my new flip flops with the pretty, big pom pom in the middle, and I also washed my car. I was all ready for sunny days, and then bam! … it’s raining, it’s cold, and the heat is on full blast.
Whatthe?!
Summer is playing hard to get, and I am about to force that diva to my dessert table with this ice cream cake.
Welcome, you beautiful, sweet, creamy Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Cake… I ♥ You.
I thought that this cake might help, not just me, but all youz that are dealing with cabin fever and crying for a sunny, warm day.
This deliciousness that you see is probably the easiest cake you’ll ever have to make. Really. It’s like embarrassingly easy.
Store bought pound cake + strawberry ice cream + whipped cream + strawberries = Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Cake. That’s all.
But, hold your horses!! Before jumping all over this cake, make sure to enter this giveaway for a $75.00 Gift Card to Target!
