Comment on Ice Cream Birthday Cake by Linda

Why oh why didn’t I call that realtor the other day??? Of course, getting stabbed with fork might deter some people from wanting to be your neighbor but I think getting a piece of this cake might be worth the risk.

I have always thought the same thing about ice cream cakes that actually included cake. I usually picked away the card board part they claimed was cake and just ate the ice cream. Cake that is dry and tasteless serves no purpose in life, don’t you think? LOL

Now, how do I get my chef to make me one of these? Have to work out a game plan!

Ugh! Ok, this could be the perfect cookie for my house. I’m a chocolate nut and Cindy loves shortbread. These sound so good! Ok, back to the library. I gotta get that book again so we can try these!

I love things that make yummy leftovers. I like to have them for a hot lunch. Seems to make the day go a bit better. This sounds delicious. Easy works for me too!

Made this again tonight with your suggestion of taking the juice out. I added 2 serrano peppers with the seeds, it was perfect. I plugged this into Weigh Watchers Points cruncher (I calculated this recipe as 6 servings) and it came out to 1 point which is great! Add a serving of Baked Tostito Scoops (2 points) and it is a good snack. I am pondering making my own tomatoes and rotel from fresh to see how that would be. My dad cannot have any MSG so I am trying to adapt as many recipes I can for him. Let me know if you have any suggestions

I have shared your recipe with several people but as you will not be surprised to hear that this is way to healthy for me. I’m into the sugary fixes. LOL I hope the people I shared it with will comment on their findings.

I think one of the joys of cooking at home is that subtle variation of flavor you get with each preparation. With the store-bought salsa, you know each jar tastes just like the one before. In fact, the companies have testers and chemically reproduced flavors to ensure each batch tastes the same.

I will keep encouraging Trista to make it thicker and thicker, though. If there is such a thing as “salsa paste,” that would be my preference. A tomato-based hummus, maybe. Hon, get to work on that

We make this salsa about once a week. Mark can now make it in his sleep. But he changes it up a bit each time too. He has decided the best way to keep me from gobbling it up is to make it hot as hell. Bring on the jalapenos and I will stay away.

Okay seriously can you come visit and make this for me. It looks divine & really want to make it, but it simply won’t look at pretty as yours. Mine never do!

I really thought I’d like this cake because I love the hazelnut/chocolate combination. But this cake tasted so bad, it really pissed me off. I hadn’t given much thought to what I could do to improve it. Definitely add more chocolate.

Don’t be put off by the time-consuming comment. It is only time consuming because you have to bake each layer and then let it cool slightly before adding and baking the next layer. The layers themselves are really easy to make.
