Did you ever think you would search for a recipe for ice box cake?  Who says “ice box” any more?  Although it is now obviously called a refrigerator, I do remember calling it an ice box.  Do you also remember milk delivery and the Helms Bakery truck?  Those were the days, weren’t they?

Even though it has an old fashioned name, this Ice Box Cake does not have an old fashioned taste. The fruit that it is packed with makes this recipe fresh and flavorful.
