This 5-ingredient rocky road loaf cake could not be any easier—using melted ice cream as the base sounds crazy but when you think about it, ice cream has all the ingredients you’d need for a cake: eggs, sugar, and milk or cream.

Ingredients

  • baking spray with flour
  • 1 pintrocky road ice cream
  • 1 ⅓ cupsself-rising flour
  • ¼ cupdutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 cupminiature marshmallows, divided
  • ½ cupplus 2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Directions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Coat an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch baking pan with baking spray; line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Spray parchment paper with baking spray.

  2. 2

    Spoon ice cream into a bowl; let sit at room temperature until melted but still cool to the touch, about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in flour and cocoa powder until just a few streaks remain, then fold in 1/2 cup marshmallows and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.

  4. 4

    Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup marshmallows and 2 tablespoons chocolate chips.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes, loosely tenting with aluminum foil during the last 5 minutes of bake time if marshmallows are getting too dark. Let cool in pan on a wire rack slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on wire rack, about 1 hour, before slicing and serving. Recipe developed by Nicole Hopper
