Let’s Roll..WITH Ice Cream and Fudge. This Cake is the Bombe!

I just realized something. All of my posts for the past several months have been Daring Cooks and Daring Bakers challenges. I’m a bad food blogger *slapping hand*. OK, I’m really not – I’m just a single gal who doesn’t have a family to cook for on a daily basis (which I think I’ve touched on maybe a gazillion times, right?), so I usually make simple, quick dishes, go out to eat, or order out when it comes to feeding myself.
OK..let me elaborate. I love to cook and bake, and in fact, do both on a pretty consistent basis (I’m always experimenting). I have lots of stuff in my freezer just waiting to be cooked/baked and blogged. I also have lots of photos of non-challenge delicacies that I have yet to blog about – but somehow time escapes me, and the next thing I know, another challenge deadline is approaching, and I have to get that entry up. My lone non-challenge affiliated goodies will just have to wait..for the hundredth time.
Some of the vanilla ice cream melted and seeped into the cake swirls when I used a bowl of warm water and a towel to loosen the cake from the bowl and plastic wrap, leaving me with soggy looking cake, as you can see above (my rolls were sliced pretty thin – bad idea).
Do I ever post without complaining? OK, on to this months Daring Bakers Challenge, because it’s really cool, both literally and figuratively.
When I first saw a challenge for a swiss roll, I thought ‘Me likey swiss roll cakes’ – memories of those packaged, chocolate covered Swiss Rolls that our Moms packed in our lunch boxes came flooding back. YES, I know..we’re talking REAL swiss rolls, as in baked from scratch and filled with some kind of cream or whatever suits your palate. I had one of those plastic covered swiss rolls a few months ago..and OMG, they shrunk- not just by a little, but a lot. SHRINKAGE is an understatement! The ones I recall from childhood were huge! Tsk Tsk to Drakes or whatever brand they are.
The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s World – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.-
I digress. I always find a way to segue into every nook and cranny before getting to the point. Back to the challenge. SO, it’s a swiss roll, but not just any swiss roll. You see, we are slicing this baby up, lining a plastic wrap covered bowl with the swiss roll slices, and filling it with ICE CREAM(S) and FUDGY SAUCE (or whatever creative juices..err sauces and ice cream we could squeeze out of our lobes).
The first person I thought of was my father. The man covets ice cream cakes – he used to live at Carvel (A local ice cream establishment dating back to like 1800 -or so it always seems). I don’t think I can recall a birthday where one of the cakes wasn’t a Carvel ice cream cake (Never had Fudgy the Whale). I don’t think I can even recall a summer where there wasn’t at least one pack of Flying Saucers in our freezer.
In any event, this recipe doesn’t contain those Carvel crunchies. Here’s a little secret, though – they’re made of broken Flying Saucer shells and drizzled with Magic Shell chocolate. Aren’t you glad you know that?
Herein lies the problem – the ideas running through my head were not the kind of ice cream cake dear old Dad would like. I decided I wasn’t going to tell him what was in it word for word, and just present it to him and hope he bit. I used Rose Levy Beranbaum’s Biscuit de Roulade (from The Cake Bible) because the challenge recipe called for 11×9 sheet pans. I looked high and low, and could not find any sheet pan in this size. Am I missing something here?
Not being in the mood to try and figure out how much baking time and batter would sufficiently fill and bake the cake in a 10×15 or 12×17 pan, I stuck with Rosie’s sponge. I wanted to make a funky swiss roll, one that was flavored and colorful, so when I saw some pink and green swiss rolls on Flickr, I decided to use some of the leftover pistachio butter, from the Daring Cooks nut butter challenge, in one half of the batter, and dried, ground strawberries in the other half. A little green food color, a little pink food color, and voila, a pink and green swiss roll that really tastes like pink and green -well, pistachio and strawberry. No ubiquitous, artificial extracts in this bombe!
Regarding the pistachios, here’s the really great part. Sam Feferkorn from Ohnuts.com saw my last entry on nut butters. He took sympathy on my poor, mutilated fingers and offered up a free pound of already shelled pistachios, plus a few other nuts and dried fruits of my choice. How cool is that? You’ve got to check out Ohnuts.com, they’re loaded with nuts, dried fruits, chocolates etc… and at reasonable prices!
Well, thanks to Sam, having these ‘ready to go’ pistachios on hand was what helped in my decision making. Why not a vanilla bean ice cream with pistachio nougatine folded in? (AKA – the crunchies..well, my version). I must admit, I cheated a bit.. I only made one ice cream, and used store bought strawberry ice cream. Oh, the shame, but hey, I’ve made a strawberry ice cream for a Daring Bakers challenge before, so that affords me a pass, right?
Here’s a rundown on my swiss roll ice cream cake. First off, as mentioned earlier in this entry, I split the genoise batter and folded a little pistachio butter (loosened up with a little warm water) into one part, and dehydrated, ground strawberries into the other. Then I added some food color (pink and green) to each part since neither ‘a little’ pistachio butter or dehydrated strawberries add much color to a batter. After baking, rolling in a towel and cooling, I spread the pistachio and strawberry genoise with a strawberry-chocolate ganache (strawberry jam melted in chocolate and hot cream, then cooled until spreadable) .
I rolled the filled genoise from the long side instead of the shorter side – which is the direction you usually roll a swiss roll from. I did this because I wanted small, spiral slices of the roll, and the diameter of the roll from the long side is always much smaller. My first ice cream was the vanilla bean – pistachio nougatine, and the second was my cheat..store bought strawberry. I made the fudge sauce from the recipe provided to us by Sunita, except I added a little vodka to lessen the freezing process so the middle would remain fudgy and somewhat gooey in lieu of frozen solid, upon cutting.

Pistachio Nougatine
5 ounces shelled, skinned salted pistachios
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
4 T unsalted butter
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cook the sugar, butter and corn syrup until light amber then add the pistachios. Cook until golden brown.
2. Pour onto a silpat or parchment lined sheet pan (or just a buttered sheet pan) and let cool until hardened.
3. Chop up the nougatine with a mallet or pulse in a food processor (for ice cream) or just break into pieces and eat or gift as candy.
GIVEAWAY ALERT! Speaking of ice cream..keep checking back. Next week I’m giving away a brand new ice cream maker!

OMG it is stunning, looks like a millefiore murano glass creation. Store bought ice cream??? tisk, OK fine pass. Looks Amazing. I bailed this month
Comment by Evelyne@CheapEthnicEatz— July 27, 2010 #
I really do need to learn some new adjectives before I visit you because stunning, gorgeous, amazing and perfect just aren’t doing it for me anymore! This was my first DB challenge and I knew I would see creativity but this is way above and beyond creative. I should wait until the day of the challenges, see what you did and take what you learned to make mine. Very, very nice work.
Comment by Leslie— July 27, 2010 #
Oh wow, your cake is so colorful! I was going to use pistachio ice cream for my second try…but I liked the cake so much I didn’t use it for a ice cream cake.
I, too, have a freezer full of things to bake, but I have a ton of time on my hand, so I usually take what I make to one of my brothers houses. Good thing they live close! That keeps me motivated, because I like the feeling of my creations being enjoyed.
Comment by Renae— July 27, 2010 #
Have I told you that you are way too creative? Wow. This cake is just amazing. I can just imagine all the time and effort that went into the planning, designing, execution. I love all the different elements.
And I did not know what the Carvel crunchies were made from… just knew I loved them!
Comment by Megan— July 27, 2010 #
Wowie, Zowie, Lisa – that is one beautious Swiss Roll encased Bombe! So vibrant and decadent! So happy OhNuts! sent you some goodies…I’m about ready to post a dessert using their almonds. I’m an official subscriber now, so I expect to see more posts on all those photographed dishes that have been pushed to the back of the do to pile!

Comment by Julie M.— July 27, 2010 #
Wow, WOw, WOW. Love the colors. Love the flavors. Love the amazing presentation. Love the mention of Carvel (and learning how those crunchies are made – I love those crunchies…). As always, truly amazed and inspired by your work.
Comment by Shelley— July 27, 2010 #
Stunning! your cake is amazing, wow!! i love the look.
Comment by ericasedibles— July 27, 2010 #
LOL- reading your entry just made me laugh. You must be from NY. I have lived in Canada for the past 7 yrs but am in Long Island right now nursing my mom back to health from a torn achilles tendon. Fudgy the Whale!!! Not many people know about Carvel. Brings back alot of memories. My little girl had Mr. Softy for the 1st time the other day!
Anyway- you roll looks great. I LOVE the colors. Very cool…
Comment by crumbsoflove— July 27, 2010 #

That is one seriously impressive cake. Fantastic photos too.
Comment by procrastinatingbaker— July 27, 2010 #
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow!! You have outdone yourself on this one! I love the colors, the changes on the inside of the cake, the process photos, and everything else! I, too, live alone, so I know how you feel. It is hard to blog about different foods that will later be stowed away in the freezer or just spoil in the fridge. *sigh* Anyway, congrats on finishing the challenge on time! I didn’t. My cake is in the freezer and won’t look nearly as perfect as yours.

Looooooove the sound of the pistachio ice-cream, I love crunchy bits, yum.
Also really like what you did by adding the vodka, what a brilliant trick!
And, um… I WANT THE ICE-CREAM MAKER.

Comment by MandyM— July 28, 2010 #
WOAH. That is one exceptionally nice looking ice cream cake. I love the pistachio nougatine – a lovely bit of crunch. Wonderful job! It reminds me a little of those cross sections of the Earth you see in school text books – mmm, hot fudge magma.
Your commentary made me laugh!
Comment by suzler— July 28, 2010 #
Love the colors and look to your Bombe! Besides all your yummy looking food, I always get a kick out of your humor in writing. So yes, I think you should post more often!

Amazing colours, great flavour combinations.
Btw, I’m married and live with a huge familly, so I have to cook in a daily basis. And still, my blog seems to be only for DK challenges, too
Comment by Maria Beatrix— July 28, 2010 #
Wow, what great colors. Really cool cake!
Comment by berry lovely— July 28, 2010 #
My first reaction on seeing your bombe was that there must be a watermelon theme going on, but I have to say that strawberry and pistachio sounds much better
Comment by Sarah— July 28, 2010 #

Took a pass on this challenge, but glad YOU didn’t! This is so beautiful…looks like sweet ice creeam covered in roses! Great flavors, too, using the nut butter and dehydrated strawberries…very creative. After all that who cares if the strawberry ice cream isn’t from scratch? Super job!
Comment by Elle— July 29, 2010 #
Beautiful, colorful and it looks so delicious I love the flavors you chose.
Comment by Faery— July 30, 2010 #
This is an exciting dessert. It should be on the cover of a magazine. I loved everything about it. The flavors sound like they are as vibrant as the color.
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. I’m glad you did so that I would know about yours!
Comment by Bonnie— July 30, 2010 #
WOW Lisa Lisa I just the look of the ice cream cake your Swiss Roll looks like a red rose bouquet. So so pretty and the flavoured ice cream are so delicious I love the idea of the nuts in the filling. Again you are too harsh on yourself I cannot see any problem with your bombe at all. Sorry for the long delay in visiting your blog I’m still recovering from my holiday. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.

This has got to be the best ice cream cake I’ve seen so far among the Daring Baker’s – and definitely the most creative – it looks like a rose garden!
Comment by trissalicious— July 30, 2010 #
Lisa, your cake is so stunning! I love the bright colours! And pistachio nougatine is a heavenly idea!
I actually did make this month’s challenge, I just posted late. It looks like a disaster on the outside, but it’s actually OK once in slice form.
I sympathize about not finding time to blog. I’ve been a terrible blogger lately, but life has just been… well, it’s been life. We all need to step back a little every now and then.
Comment by Valérie— July 30, 2010 #
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I was hired in March to work at a local restaurant and was doing crazy hours, like 10-12 everyday. This left me with no time for anything else. I was recently laid off and my husband is recovering from a broken ankle. I have few posts in the making but I also looking for a job, so who knows how often I will post.
Take care!
Comment by Laura— July 30, 2010 #
Holy cow, this is incredible. And would be great at Christmas time! Thanks for the inspiration.
Comment by Kenna— July 30, 2010 #
This is just a visual spectacular. Like you with oranges, I don’t usually go for ice-cream and cake combination, I would love to try this.
I have been missing Daring Bakers, but time is super short – and there’s too much other baking I want to do. Trying to get some baking out of my system before baby Mélanger arrives in a few short months. There will be NO baking then, for a while!
Comment by Julia @ Mélanger— July 30, 2010 #
Thanks for you sweet comment, even though I don’t know you your words made me feel better. I have an interview on Tuesday at a local bakery, I need the job even though it might not be what I really want. But the other news is that we are on the work to open a bakery if we are able to get the permits and raise the money, we have a spot and a wonderful landlord. It is still so far away that I am not talking about it on the web for fear that it will not happen. Wish us luck!
Comment by Laura— July 31, 2010 #
My favourite colour combo, very pretty cake! And the inside looks perfect too, great job on this challenge!

Comment by Katie— August 1, 2010 #
Even though it’s been a while since I’ve done a challenge. I always love visiting your site to see what you have come up with since you’re so very creative. I absolutely love the colors and flavors here!
Comment by Esi— August 1, 2010 #
To my betrothed: I bow at your feet (well I bow down as far as my fat ass will allow me without causing a myocardial infarction) – your glorious sexy feet, for I am not worthy. Your ice cream cake is beautious! I heart the colors and the flavors and wish I could gently caress and may-sahg each tender finger tip (I know the bruised finger tips where in the last challenge, but go with me here…) to take away your pain. For you art thou a jean-ee-yus in the confection arts.
The Martha who? Gail whatshername? Rose Levy-whosits?? Nay! Nay I say! Lisa Michele is THE BOMBE when it comes to creativity in her kitchen oasis.
Oh and your nut butter & pavlova entries are also THE BOMB. I fakkin’ love the lil stuffed cukes. Don’t even think for a moment that The Martha has ANYTHING on you.
Love you!

This is such a pretty cake or bombe or ice cream cake. The colors are great, and I’m so glad you got some shelled pistachios! The cut piece looks amazing with the ice cream and fudge layers. I have attempt a swiss roll one of these days.
Comment by lisaiscooking— August 4, 2010 #
Y’know, at first glance the green and red colors of the Swiss rolls look like a bouquet of roses, a subtle elegance to this dish, however soggy it might have gotten in the process. Nonetheless, you still did a marvelous job. Kudos!
