During one hot and sticky day last month when I was wasting a good bit of time twittering with my tweeps, a question popped up asking everyone what they were baking for the weekend. I thought to myself, “I ain’t baking Sh*t”.. I’ll put together this 2-ingredient cake and go out and have some fun. God bless everyone that is baking pound cakes and bread from scratch on a Saturday afternoon. So when Bridges magazine asked me to come up with a summer recipe, I had to pull this one out of my bag of tricks. With friends like mine, you wouldn’t wanna be hanging out in the kitchen for hours either.
Find my article and recipe on page 14 in this month’s issue of Bridges Magazine. Biggest thanks to Claudia Jordan for her mad photography skills.
Looks DEE-ish!!!
…and those shoes….scrumtrulescent !
Thank you Pagoda. That is a huuuuge ginormous compliment coming from a fabulous diva like yourself. Smooches for stopping by.
OMG, that looks like the perfect treat for today! YUM
Thanks Chris. I think you should make it and surprise someone
I haven’t had mint chocolate chip ice cream in AGES! I always forget how good it is…And now I want to make this cake PRONTO!
Rachel- Make it girlll.. So tell me, when you were growing up in Ohio, did every boy you ever met LOVE mint choc chip ice cream?
*Drool* I need a big piece ‘o that to cool me off. Can your red-head friend feed me a piece too?!
Laura- YOU crack me up!! I’ll see you I can do. You never know girl
It’s not a magazine I’ve heard of, but I’ll snag a copy somewhere, B&N I’m guessing. Congrats! Great pics too.
James- Thanks so much! You can check it out online
God that looks sooo good!!!!! Cant’ wait to try it… after my TRIATHLON!!!
Mitzi- Try some BEFORE the triathlon!!
I can’t decide if I like cake better or the shoes
. That looks utterly delicious!
Snehal – Thank you sooooo much!! 2 of my favorite things.
Nothing better than matching footwear to desserts. LOL I love it! You guys make everything look like such fun.
Carolyn – Thanks for popping over. We sure try to have fun!! Thanks again.
My hubby loves mint-choco chip ice cream. Can’t wait to whip this up for him.
Eliot- That’s awesome!! He is going to flip and be soo happy!
Oh that looks fan-tab-u-lous! My honey would love that ice cream cake. Of course he’d love the gorgeous photos of the hottie honies eating it here if I’d let him look. Lol.
Amanda- YOU CRACK ME UP. Your comments always make me smile and giggle. Thank YOU!!!
I’m an Ohio guy, but I never ordered mint chocolate chip. My fave was always chocolate pecan. This looks OH so good that I’ll be ordering mint chocolate chip from now on. Something about the coolness of mint and the cold of the ice cream making a great combo. Just amazing that you can make it so simple, yet so incredibly good.
Gary- Thank you soo much for always stopping by. You really never ordered Mint Choc Chip? Ohhh My!! You are in for such a treat.
Looks great and I love all of the HOT ladies in the pics!!!
Deirdre- Thank YOU!! And all three of us love YOU something fierce.
Jenny you look so put together under the sweltering heat! The cake? Divine. I sadly was unable to navigate Bridges magazine (but love you are contributing to it) but love seeing its readers as some more devoted followers in the comments here! Stay cool!
Miss Locavore- You have to be one of the kindest peeps on the planet. The world needs more of YOU!!
This is still one of my favs!!! Awesome article in Bridges magazine…..I’m so proud of you, Jenny!!! Big things are in your near future!
Holly- Thank you for being YOU! What in the world would I do without you? XOXO
Looks awesome. But those shoes and car? I want them! Very gorgeous. x

Wow, Hot Chicks, Cool Car, and one of my Favorite Desserts. Chocolate Mint Chip Deliciousness.
Heavy Taste- Thanks for stopping by. And I love that another boy out there LOVES Choc Mint Chip Ice Cream. I was out having drinks with friends last night and a friend of a friend brought up his love for mint-choc-chip and I about spit out my beer in deeelight.
You’ve one it again! I lovvvvvv this one. I used to do a similar mint chocolate chip pie with a hard chocolate fudge top! It was soooo easy. Get a pre made pie crust, add the ice cream and then top it with instant hardening chocolate! Yummm. Your recipe reminded me for it! I’ll have to try yours out!
Christina – Thank YOU so much for stopping by. Your pie sounds absoooolutely scrumdelyicious.
That cake looks amazing!

Jen, I love how your toenails match your shoes and scarf, and how the green even matches the ice cream cake! It looks so hot over there and yet your cake looks so pristine and not melty at all. How DO you do it, girl!? Well done on yet another achievement at Bridges!
