The name of this recipe is so misleading- I expected for it to be an “ice cream cake”, not a chocolate cake with ice cream. This recipe can be tailored to your needs so easily. Want regular chocolate cake? Buy that mix. Need to go gluten-free? There is a mix for that. You can even make your own from scratch (see a list of cake recipes at the bottom of this post)
