Surprise Ice Cream is a simple yet spectacular dessert that is sure to impress anyone who tastes it. This recipe combines the fluffy texture of a sponge cake with a surprise filling of ice cream, offering an explosion of flavor in every bite. Let's discover together how to prepare this delicacy!

Ingredients:
- 200 g flour
- 10 g baking powder
- 150 g sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 100 ml milk
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 500 g ice cream (choose your favorite flavor: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry)
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Place the rack in the middle of the oven and prepare a baking pan (about 20x20 cm) lined with parchment paper. This will ensure that your dessert bakes evenly and releases easily after baking.

2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These dry ingredients will provide structure and aeration to the batter. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light yellow. This is the stage where air will be incorporated, resulting in a fluffy sponge cake.

3. Combine the ingredients: Add the milk, oil, and vanilla essence to the egg and sugar mixture, mixing well. Then, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula to avoid lumps. Do not overmix; it is important to keep the air in the batter.

4. Baking: Pour half of the prepared batter into the prepared pan. Carefully place the ice cream on top, forming an even layer. Cover with the remaining batter and level it with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the surface turns golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cooling and serving: After removing the dessert from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant look.

Serving suggestions: Serve Surprise Ice Cream warm or at room temperature, alongside warm chocolate sauce or fresh fruits to add a delicious contrast.

Possible variations: Experiment with different ice cream flavors, such as salted caramel or mint, or add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra texture.

Helpful tips: Make sure the ice cream is well frozen before use to avoid it melting during baking. If you want a lighter dessert, you can replace some of the oil with applesauce or Greek yogurt.
