Ingredients

Servings

CAKE

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water hot
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

ICE CREAM

  • 1/2 gallon rectangular sized ice cream any flavor

FROSTING

  • Whipped Topping such as Dream Whip or Frostin' Pride
  • toppings of your choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Whisk together in a large bowl, flour, sugar, and cocoa. Add oil, eggs and milk. Mix all ingredients well. Add 1 cup of hot water, combining all ingredients. The batter will appear to be too watery. Don't be tempted to adjust. It will cook perfectly.
  3. Grease and flour a 9" X 13" baking pan and add batter. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake completely.
  4. Remove ice cream from the carton and cut the ice cream in half lengthwise (fishing wire or dental floss works great!). Place the two layers side by side on a piece of waxed paper in dish that can go in the freezer. Mend seams together by smoothing with a knife. Put in the freezer for at least an hour.
  5. Place cooled cake on a serving platter. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and gently flip ice cream over the cake. Remove the waxed paper.
  6. Trim the cake to the size of the ice cream. Put back into the freezer for another hour or two.
  7. Frost and decorate cake as desired.

Notes

  • Frostin' Pride is a Whipped topping that is sold at Smart & Final.
