The History of Ice Cream Cake
The origins of ice cream cake are a bit nebulous, with different cultures claiming to have invented this beloved dessert. However, it’s generally agreed that ice cream cake became a popular treat in the United States in the 19th century. The dessert originally started as a luxurious item only the wealthy could afford, due to the rarity and expense of ice. But as technology advanced, refrigeration became more widespread, allowing ice cream cakes to become a more common treat for everyone to enjoy.
