Let’s have a look at the detailed directions.


DIRECTIONS:

Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees, like you do every time before baking a cake. Take a 9-inch spring form pan and grease with butter or with non-sticky oil spray.

Take a medium sized, heat proof bowl and place butter, sugar, salt and cocoa powder and heat in microwave for about one minute interval and keep stirring in the intervals. Heat until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is too warm to touch. Add one egg at a time and keep mixing until the mixture is well-combined. Now add flour and stir, at the end pour vanilla extract and mix well.

Your cake batter is ready to put in pans and ready to be baked.

Put this mixture in the already greased pan and bake for about 30 minutes. We need a moist and dense cake so when you insert the toothpick in it to check if it is cooked or not, make sure your toothpick come out with very little crumbs. Let it cool in the pan before you cover this with creamy-minty frosting and chocolate chip.

To make the no-churn mint chocolate chip Ice Cream layer:

Take a large mixing bowl, place cream and beat with electric beater until it is fluffy and creamy. Add condensed milk and fold with a spatula, pour peppermint extract, gel paste food colouring and salt and beat until the mixture is well combined. Now add chopped/crushed chocolate and mix accordingly.

Now remove brownie pan from the fridge and spread this creamy mixture over the pan and spread evenly over the crust and place the pan again in the fridge until cool, freeze and firm. When this is absolutely cool and firm, garnish with chocolate vermicelli and whipped cream. Or just follow the complete instructions.

To garnish:

In a medium mixing bowl, pour whipping cream and whip until the cream is fluffy, make sure to beat at high-medium speed. Now add powdered sugar and keep beating until the mixture is creamy, fluffy and soft. Transfer this creamy frosting in a piping bag and pipe larger starts at the most edges of the cake and smaller stars at the sides and sprinkle with chocolate vermicelli. Put again in fridge and serve cool.

This is the simplest and beautiful cake to serve at any party or get together and even on birthdays. Just put some candles on the cold cake and serve.
