Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1.5 quarts strawberry ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Two 9-inch round cake pans
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or sturdy whisk
  • Sifter or fine mesh sieve
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Plastic wrap
  • Small saucepan
  • Serving plate or cake stand
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
  2. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the boiling water to create a thin batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  6. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Line the same cake pans with plastic wrap and place one cooled cake layer in each.
  8. Spread softened strawberry ice cream evenly over each cake layer and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until solid, about 4 hours or overnight.
  9. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth.
  10. Remove the frozen cake layers from the pans and stack them, pouring ganache over each layer. Garnish with strawberries and chocolate shavings.
  11. Freeze for at least 1 more hour before serving.

Notes

Make sure to completely cool the cake before adding ice cream to prevent melting. You can swap the strawberry ice cream for any berry flavor or vanilla for variety. Aim to serve the cake within a week for the best texture; it can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Use a hot knife to cut clean slices of the frozen dessert—this makes a big difference in presentation!
