Grilled Vanilla Pint Cake with Strawberry Sauce and Pistachio – fresh summer berries top a unique take on a pound cake – fresh summer flavor!
While I enjoy ice cream any time of year, summertime is when we celebrate it more, right?
We have been enjoying a unique take on a pound cake recipe – seriously, I cannot stop making this pint cake with all the flavors. Yes. Pint Cake. See what I did there? This super easy cake recipe is a variation of my dear friend Katie’s recipe – one that came from her Bubbie. It uses a pint of the Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert, and is the perfect dessert cake similar to a pound cake!
Seriously. You know how many different flavors of pints So Delicious has?
Endless flavor possibilities. Endless fun.
I am celebrating some of my favorite ice creams right now, joining So Delicious to Raise a Pint. Do you love the So Delicious Frozen Desserts as much as we do? Do you have approximately 27.3 pints currently in your freezer? You can play along and Raise a Pint, too! Find out how you can win an Ice Cream Party Pack when you Raise a Pint.
For this recipe, you will need two pints of So Delicious Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert – I used two pints of the Very Vanilla. Well, for the recipe I am sharing here. I also made a Salted Caramel Pint Cake topped with the Chocolate Cashewmilk, and a Cappuccino Pint Cake topped with Chocolate Cookies and Cream. ooh. That cookies and cream…
Grab a few pints, fire up the grill, have some friends over, make Pint Cake!
