Daring Bakers challenge: Chocolate Valentino cake w. homemade ice cream
28 Feb
Daring Bakers is a place where a community of bloggers follow the same recipe, while providing them the freedom to add a new ingredient or two (or four). Then, everyone posts their creations on the same day of the month. I’m simply amazed at the things people come up with!
The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef. They have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.
For this challenge, I wasn’t very creative at all. Instead, I focused on making classic desserts- a flourless chocolate cake paired with vanilla bean ice cream from scratch. I’ve made a flourless chocolate cake before, so I wasn’t too concerned about that. It was the ice cream I was worried about, especially since I don’t have an ice cream maker.
