Cake Ingredients:
- 1 box cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) water
- 0.5 cup (120 milliliters) vegetable oil
Ice Cream Ingredients:
- 1.5 quarts (1.4 liters) ice cream
- 0.5 cup (60 grams) crushed cookies or candies
Frosting and Decoration Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract

Instructions
- Craft the cake foundation by following package guidelines, utilizing a 9-inch round pan. Bake at recommended temperature and allow complete cooling for approximately 45-60 minutes.
- Carefully slice the cooled cake horizontally into two equal layers using a serrated knife, ensuring smooth and even division.
- Position the first cake layer onto a designated serving plate, creating a stable base for the ice cream assembly.
- Generously spread softened ice cream across the initial cake layer, creating a uniform and thick coating that covers the entire surface.
- Elegantly drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over the ice cream layer, allowing it to cascade and create delectable swirls.
- Delicately place the second cake layer atop the ice cream, pressing gently to secure proper positioning.
- Apply the remaining ice cream over the top layer, meticulously smoothing the surface for a polished appearance.
- Transfer the assembled cake to the freezer, allowing it to solidify for a minimum of 4 hours or until completely firm.
- Prior to serving, embellish with whipped cream and optional decorative toppings for an exquisite presentation.
Notes
- Cake mix selection matters, choose a flavor that complements your ice cream for maximum flavor harmony.
- Freezing time is crucial, ensure the cake is completely solid before decorating to prevent melting and maintain structural integrity.
- Let the cake sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly and make cutting easier.
- Try different ice cream flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry to create unique combinations that suit various taste preferences.
