My husband has talked about a special cake he had growing up. It’s called a Sundae Bubble Crown Cake and while it was something I had never of or seen I found a way to recreate it and make his birthday special with this unique ice cream cake.
I had never heard or seen this kind of cake, except for a photo of Mike at his 2nd Birthday.

So I did some searching and found out that is was originally a Betty Crocker ice cream cake.
Note: The top 4 ingredients makes 1 batch of the puffs. I usually double that to make 2 batches, so I have enough puffs!
Sundae Bubble Crown Cake
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and pull the ice cream out of the freezer so it’s soft enough when you’re ready to assemble
Step 2: In a medium size pot bring water and butter to a rolling boil
Step 3: Take the pot off the burner and add all the flour and start stirring
Step 4: The dough should become pretty solid and form a ball
Step 5: Add each egg one at a time until the dough is creamy and velvety!
Step 6: Drop balls the size of a teaspoon onto an non greased cookie sheet (I used a silpat and it’s the best thing ever!)
Step 7: Bake for 18 minutes and until they rise to look like delicious puffs
Step 8 : Let them cool before you assemble the cake

Step 9: I add a layer of puffs (this is your bottom layer)
Step 10: Layer of strawberry and chocolate ice cream (we added this in quarters)
Step 11: Layer of puffs
Step 12: Layer of mint chip ice cream
Step 13: Layer of puffs (this is the top of your cake)
Step 14: Place in the freezer for 8-12 hours
When you’re ready to eat the cake pull it our and let it sit for 2-3 minutes then take a spatula to help ease it out of the pan. Keep the pan close by you’ll need it to put the cake back in the freezer.
This is when you’ll want to add the hot fudge! Drizzle it over the puffs!

Ice Cream Cake
Mike said it was just like he remembered, the puffs were hard and frozen and the ice cream was soupy and the chocolate was delicious. He felt like a kid and what’s better then feeling young on your birthday? Nothing. Happy Birthday Mike!

My mom made this for me when I was a little girl and I am sure there is a picture somewhere of me and this fantastic creation. I always ask her to make it for me and she lets me know it was work. She has only made it one other time for someone else’s birthday. I still have the original recipe card she made a photo copy of when I moved out in case I wanted to try to make it myself one day. I think I may make it for my son when he comes home from the Army this summer. It is my favorite cake I have ever had and I am almost 50. I think I will request it again for that special birthday in a couple years. She has got to say yes this time!
Those sounds like some great memories, and that you’ll make even more. I honestly didn’t think it was that hard to make, it was more about waiting for it to be ready! I hope you get one for your birthday!
I made this cake about 30 years ago for the first time for a church fundraiser. Bid price was $29. Oh … it was delicious!
That’s so fun and I love that you remember the bid price!
