Method

1. Place the butter in the mixer and begin beating.
2. Start adding the sugar gradually while continuing to beat until the mixture is pale yellow.
3. Add the egg yolks one at a time, add the vanilla, and beat.
4. Begin adding the flour, milk, and cocoa gradually until all is used, beating as you add each portion.
5. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until you obtain a thick white mixture.
6. Add the beaten egg whites to the first mixture and fold with a spoon until combined.
7. Spoon a little of the cake batter into the ice cream biscuit shells until each is three-quarters full.
8. Place the ice cream biscuit cakes in the oven tray standing upright.
9. Put them in the oven on the middle rack at 180°C for 25 minutes.
10. When you remove the ice cream biscuit cakes, prick each one from bottom to top with a thin wooden skewer to let steam escape — this prevents the biscuit shells from becoming soggy from steam.
11. For serving, after the cakes have completely cooled, decorate with ice cream or whipped cream.
