Last Tuesday was National Chocolate Milkshake Day and also a gathering of six for dinner. The manageable approach was to make a milkshake ice cream on Monday night—a copycat version of Wendy's chocolate Frosty—followed by baking a cake on Tuesday morning. As shown in the picture at the top, I'm certainly not a food stylist but I don't think the point is the picture! The ice cream was churned in the big freezer chest, with the rock salt and huge bag of ice from the corner market:
And it could hardly be a birthday celebration without that cake. I went with the King Arthur single-layer yellow cake with the American classic goopy fudge frosting. While I deviated slightly from the recipe and got a bit of a scare with the icing, a good dosing of my homemade chocolate sauce brought it into shiny pourable goodness for a very tasteful final rendering:
Ice cream and cake together: now there's a marriage made in belly heaven.

The recipe for a copycat Wendy's Chocolate Frosty was originally discovered in a discussion thread on the Southern Living blogs, posted by user Pat (pbj1118). Most recipes on the web are not an exact match, although I'm sure they're still good!
