There are a few ways to tell if ice cream has gone bad. First, check the expiration date on the container. If the ice cream is past that date, it may not be safe to eat.

Lastly, if the ice cream smells off or has a sour taste, it has likely spoiled and should not be eaten.
It usually takes around 45-60 minutes to grill a 2 lb tri-tip, flipping it every 10-15 minutes to cook it evenly. The meat’s internal temperature should reach 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium doneness. Letting it rest for 5-10 minutes after removing it from the grill will allow the juices to redistribute and make the meat more tender and flavorful.
Cake becomes soft and fluffy due to the incorporation of air into the batter during the mixing process. The use of leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda also creates air pockets in the batter, causing it to rise and become lighter in texture. Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and adding room temperature eggs one at a time also helps in creating a tender crumb. Over-mixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake, so it is important to mix just until all the ingredients are incorporated.
