Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bar Cake! The strawberry shortcake crunch ice cream bar is one of my favorite treats so why not make it into a full blown dessert? So easy to make using a box cake mix, frosting & ice cream. The crunchy coating tastes just like the old-fashioned ice cream bar! So yummy, kids and adults alike love this fun summertime cake!
