Ice Cream Cake
Chocolate cake:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup warm water
1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Ice Cream Layer:
1/2 gallon ice cream (choose your favorite flavor:peppermint, vanilla, mint chocolate chip, or chocolate)
Whipped Cream:
1 1/2 cups well chilled heavy cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
15 (about 1/2 cup) hard peppermint candies
1) before you start, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease the baking dish with butter.
2)Make the batter, put the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt into the sifter and sift into the large bowl. stir in the sugar with the whisk.
In one of the medium bowls, using the whisk, beat the water, egg, oil, and vanilla till blended. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir together with the whisk just until blended.
3)Fill the dish and bake the cake, Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Use the rubber spatula to scrape all of the batter out of the bowl into the dish. Put the dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Using oven mitts, remove the dish from the oven and set it on the cooling rack to cool completely.
4) Spread on the ice cream layer When the cake is cool, remove the ice cream from the freezer and set it on the counter to soften for 10 to 15 minutes. Drop large globs of the ice cream over the top of the cake with the rubber spatula and spread them out to make a thick, even layer. cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 4 hours, until the ice cream is hard.
5)make the whipped cream, in the other medium bowl, using the electric mixer on low speed, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla. When the cream begins to thicken and no longer splatters, increase the speed to medium-high. continue to beat until medium-firm peaks form, about 3 minutes.
6) Crush the candies, unwrapped the peppermint candies and through away the plastic wrappers. Put the candies into the zippered plastic bag. Press out all the air and seal the bag. using the rolling pin, gently but firmly pound on the candies until they are crushed. remove the frozen cake from the freezer.

RO's Spaghetti and Meatballs
Ingredients
I got this recipe from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/ROs-Spaghetti-and-Meatballs/Detail.aspx
- Tomato Sauce:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 (14 ounce) cans canned tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Meatballs:
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped fresh basil
- grated Parmesan cheese
- Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons chopped basil in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for at least 40 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, combine ground beef, graham cracker crumbs, eggs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, parsley, and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well with clean hands, and shape into 20 walnut-size meatballs. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry meatballs until browned and cooked though, about 10 minutes. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce, and simmer gently while boiling the pasta.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; stir in spaghetti. Cook the pasta until it has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well. Carefully toss the spaghetti with the sauce and meatballs. Serve, sprinkling each plate with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.
