Coffee Ice Cream Fudge Cake Food

COFFEE ICE BOX CAKE

Steps:

• This recipe is more a "strategy" than a real recipe. The idea is to quickly soak the cake or lady fingers in coffee and set a layer in a 8-inch square glass baking pan. Cover with a layer of whipped cream flavored to taste, layer soaked cake, then whipped cream; do two layers at least
• Refrigerate, covered overnight.
• VARIATIONS: If you like this idea with fruit, then soak cake in diluted liqueur, then sandwich cream and fruit in between.
