These ARE delicious! One bite and I was brought back to the ice cream I enjoyed so much as a kid. I added orange food coloring to my buttercream frosting to top these off. I can't wait to make these again! A treat the entire family will enjoy.

3/4 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. For cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • 2. Sift all dry ingredients into bowl, then mix all wet ingredients into dry ingredients together until blended.
  • 3. Scoop batter into cupcake liners/cupcake tin. Bake for 18-20 min until cooked through (cake springs back/or toothpick comes clean. Let cool on racks before adding filling. Makes approx 30-32 cupcakes
  • 4. For Cream Filling: Cook together first 5 ingredients until thick like wallpaper paste. Make sure flour is added and mixed well so doesn't become lumpy. Cool.
  • 5. Separately mix sugar, butter, and shortening. Add to cooled mixture and beat with mixer 5 minutes/or until fluffy. Squeeze into cooled cupcakes with a frosting bag and tip.
