CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM TORTE

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cups flour
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp salt
½ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup shortening
1 cup sour cream
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups Turkey Hill original vanilla ice cream (or more if needed)
½ cup crushed peppermint stick candy, divided
½ cup mini marshmallows
Bittersweet chocolate sauce for drizzling slices, and whipped cream to decorate (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350. Spray four 8-inch cake pans with non-stick spray. Whisk together first 5 dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add shortening, sour cream, vanilla and eggs and beat with hand mixer for 2-3 minutes. Divide batter among cake pans, smoothing tops. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool in pan, then remove to a cooling rack. Freeze.

When ready to assemble, mix crushed candy (reserving a tbsp for top) into softened ice cream with mini marshmallows. Spread ice cream mixture between layers and just across top (don’t attempt sides). Sprinkle top with reserved crushed candy and freeze. When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes and slice with a thin knife dipped into hot water. This gives the layered look of a torte without the difficulty of slicing cakes horizontally. Freezing the cake layers makes them easy to work with. Serve slices drizzled with bittersweet chocolate sauce and stars of whipped cream!
