So after the sugar load of the holidays I had decided I wasn’t going to post any sweet recipes – at least for a week or two. Well, I lasted about one day.
But you see. I woke up this morning and decided to…
Because you see it is my birthday today and I decided to make myself a birthday cake because I also believe that it is o.k. to ….

Especially on your birthday.
I really wouldn’t mind if someone wanted to give me this cute little Kate Spade number for my birthday either!
I think I may just have to settle for eating cake for breakfast though.
I found a cake recipe for 3 of my favorite things in the Food Network Magazine – vanilla ice cream, angel food cake and malt. I couldn’t pass up the Vanilla Malted Ice Cream Cake. Especially since it’s my birthday!!
I baked an angel food cake from a box mix and then sliced it into thin slices. Try and remove as much of the brown outer edge as possible. It makes for a much prettier cake when it is all white.
Layer those piece in the bottom of 10 inch tube pan (angel food cake pan). Use about half of the cake
Pour a mixture of 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/4 cup of malt powder over the cake.
Top with a layer of softened ice cream.
Repeat the process with the cake/liquid/ice cream.
Use an offset spatula to get an even layer of ice cream.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 4 hours or as long as five days if needed.
Remove from the pan and invert onto a platter.
Whip together 1 cup of whipping cream and 2 Tbsp malted milk powder for frosting. Whip until a stiff peak forms. Spread over the top and sides of the cake.
Then if it’s your birthday add a candle.
And if you want to get really fancy because it’s your birthday, add some washi tape flags too!
Then just sing Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me!!!
