Sometimes, summer calls for something cool and creamy at the end of a meal. Maybe it's a scoop of ice cream or one of your favorite ice cream treats. One of my all-time favorites are creamsicles. The blend of smooth, creamy ice cream and tangy orange sorbet is a perfect combination. This month, I'm sharing a recipe inspired by this special duo.
An ideal decoration for this super simple cake are several well-drained mandarin orange slices. I like arranging them on the top of the cake in a flower pattern. Once decorated, it makes a great addition to any summer gathering. Keep cool and enjoy the yum!
