The Cottage Smallholder

I've just come across a recipe (if you can even call it that) for what must be the easiest (and wackiest) sweet bread recipe going.....apparently it's a southern American recipe.  It has just 2 ingredients!

2 cups softened full fat ice cream

1.5 cups self raising flour

Mix together, place in a greased bread tin and bake at 350 deg for around 40 mins.

I watched a video of someone making it and it does indeed rise and look like a loaf....albeit a cake-like one.

Just intrigues me as to how (and why!) somebody originally thought of mixing ice cream and flour!
