What is an Icebox Cake?

An Icebox Cake, like Lemon Icebox Cake, is a dessert that is layered with a base and a pudding-like filling. In most cases, the icebox cake base is graham crackers. Then the filling is a type of pudding or other filling that you can make from scratch. The cake is assembled with one layer of base then a layer of filling and it is repeated for the rest of the ingredients. As the cake sits in the refrigerator, the crackers soften and the cake is formed.

Why are they called icebox cake?

The term “Icebox Cake” comes from the time when refrigerators were called an Icebox. An Icebox was a small room that had a large block of ice in it and food was stored on shelves in this room to keep it cool.

Nowadays, we have refrigerators but the name is still the same.
