Ingredients
  

Cake Layer
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix or your preferred flavor
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
Ice Cream Filling
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream softened
  • 1 quart chocolate ice cream softened
Topping
  • 1 cup whipped cream for frosting
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings for garnish

Method
 

Prepare Cake Layer
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.
Assemble Ice Cream Cake
  1. Once the cake is cool, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
  2. Place one layer of cake on a serving plate. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the top.
  3. Add the second layer of cake on top of the vanilla ice cream. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream over this layer.
  4. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up the ice cream.
Decorate
  1. Remove the cake from the freezer and frost the top and sides with whipped cream.
  2. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
  3. Return the cake to the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.
