One of the bakery specials at Zippy's for the month of September is their Orange Tube Chiffon Cake. I remember buying this cake from Zippy's when I was growing up! I'm so glad Zippy's still offers it (even though it's a special and not on their daily menu).
This Orange Tube Chiffon Cake is light, airy, moist, with a hint of orange flavoring.
I love this cake because it's not overly sweet or dense like regular cake, and it just melts in my mouth.
On a whim I decided to turn this chiffon cake into an ice cream cake. Here's how I did it....
First I sliced the cake in half (horizontally). Then I applied a layer of softened ice cream (Tillamook vanilla bean works great but you can use any ice cream!) on the bottom half of the cake and smoothed it out with a knife. Then I put the top half of the cake on the layer of ice cream, and placed the ice cream cake in the freezer for a few hours.
The result? An ice cream cake take that tastes just like a Creamsicle!
But don't forget, the Orange Tube Chiffon Cake is a September Special at Zippy's, therefore you have until October 3, 2021 to order it. If you do decide to try this dessert hack, let me know how yours turns out!
