Tips
Few cakes look more impressive than this one. Its got three layers of great carrot cake "frosted" with three layers of ice cream.
The recipe for the carrot cake is one you'll want to hold on to. It makes a wonderful traditional carrot cake--just add cream cheese frosting.
If you'd like, you can freeze the cake without the sprinkling of nuts and then, at serving time, cover the cake with lightly sweetened whipped cream and finish with the toasted nuts.
The cake has to be frozen before you can serve it, but it can stay in the freezer for up to 2 months.
