Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pint chocolate ice cream
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1 package chocolate cake mix
- 2 cups whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Preheat your oven as directed and bake the cake in a round cake pan. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cake is cooling, take the chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly. This will make it easier to spread later.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, slice it horizontally into two equal layers using a serrated knife. Place the bottom layer on a serving platter or cake stand.
- Spread an even layer of chocolate ice cream over the bottom layer of the cake, smoothing it out with a spatula. Make sure to cover the entire surface.
- Carefully place the second layer of cake on top of the chocolate ice cream. Gently press down to secure it in place.
- Next, spread a layer of vanilla ice cream over the top of the second cake layer. Again, smooth it out evenly.
- Once both layers of ice cream are in place, cover the entire cake with whipped cream, using a spatula to create a smooth finish. You can also use a piping bag for a decorative touch.
- After frosting the cake with whipped cream, place the cake in the freezer for at least 4 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up and the layers to set.
- Once the cake is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the cake for added flavor and decoration.
- Slice the cake into 8 servings and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Choco Vanilla Ice Cream Cake!
Tips
- Make sure your cake is completely cooled before adding ice cream layers to prevent melting.
- Let your ice cream soften for about 5-10 minutes at room temperature for easy spreading.
- Use a hot knife (run under hot water and dried) for clean, smooth cuts when slicing the cake.
- Work quickly when assembling to prevent ice cream from melting.
- For a professional look, use a cake turntable when applying whipped cream.
- Freeze the cake between layers to help maintain structural integrity.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
- For extra flavor, consider adding crushed nuts or chocolate chips between layers.
