This moist and tender yellow sheet cake has a filling of vanilla ice cream, a thick slather of frosting – and the gaping, mute, horror-stricken face reminiscent of Edvard Munch’s iconic painting The Scream. Even if you couldn’t name the painter for a million bucks, everyone knows the face. The simple, expressive lines are surprisingly easy to recreate in cake and i’scream. If you can, bake the cake in a metal pan – the cake takes a little longer to bake in a glass pan and it is more likely to dry out.
