Notes:

The cake part of this recipe has just three ingredients and is so easy to make even the kids can make it.
The cake it makes has a fine crumb and we have drizzled it with a mixture of icing sugar mixture and orange juice.
Be careful with dairy that has been left out of the fridge or freezer for extended periods of time – it can contain harmful bacteria. We recommend if you are melting ice cream specifically for this recipe to do it in the refrigerator.
You can make your favourite flavoured icing but we have opted for a simple drizzle.
