This was such a fun challenge, and perfect for us here in the Midwest with the humidity in the upper 90's and temps over 100!! We were to make a swiss cake roll from scratch, homemade ice cream, and a homemade hot fudge sauce. Having never made any of these on my own (with the exception of making ice cream one time last summer at my parents house) this challenge was exciting.
For my cake, hot fudge and chocolate ice cream I used the recipes that can be found HERE on the Daring Kitchen website. But for my second ice cream I went with plain old sweet cream ice cream - my FAVORITE. I'll include the recipe below, but it's SUPER easy. Just three things!! Here are some pictures I snapped of the cake making process and begining layering stages.

This was a big hit with my family, but then again, what's not to love about cake and ice cream!!!
Okay well that's it for this swiss swirliness. I think this would make a really fun birthday cake, and may just try it next year!
For the sweet cream ice cream you can find the recipe HERE. Enjoy - it's DELICIOUS!! Oh, and I used base #2 for my recipe. I was a big fan of the not having to cook it part!!
