In reply to Seva P. You will want to use the 1.5 quarts if using store bought ice cream. :)

I am going to make this cake with homemade ice cream, but with a different recipe. Should I still use 1.5 quarts, or another amount?

In reply to Seva. I haven't experimented with it, but you can check out my no strawberry no churn ice cream and substitute raspberry instead. :)

In reply to Denise. Hi Denise. I actually do that. I line the same cake pan I’m using for the cake with Saran Wrap and then put either softened store purchased ice cream or the ice cream recipe here into the pan, making sure it fills all of the edges. I wrap the plastic around to cover the top and then freeze it. I can then remove the plastic wrapped ice cream from the pan and, when I’m ready just place it on top of the bottom cake layer. Easy peasy.

In reply to Denise. Hi Denise! We actually have a note at the bottom of the recipe card on how to make this without a cake collar. Hope that helps!

Hi, before I make this beautiful cake I was wondering because I can’t get a cake collar in time , why can’t I just freeze the ice cream filling and chill the cakes the next day instead of freezing them as well?

In reply to Anna. Hi Anna! We haven't experimented with a vanilla version of this recipe yet. You could try our vanilla cake, but just know that vanilla cakes typically are more dense than the chocolate cake, so it will be a bit different.

If I wanted the cake to be just basic vanilla, what could I substitute for the 1/2c. of cocoa powder?

This is my first ever comment on a food blog. I never leave comments but this cake was incredible! I made it for my son’s birthday and it turned out perfect! The instructions made it so simple. I didn’t have the cake collar but was able to make it work just as instructed in the notes. I don’t prefe ice cream cakes of all ice cream. This is what an ice cream cake should be! Thank you!

I made this cake for my birthday and it was so delicious! My whole family raved about how good it was, even the ones who usually don’t eat a lot of cake. I will definitely be making this again. I might try Oreos in the ice cream like the commenter above or even crushed Butterfingers. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Holy Moly! This turned out so great… I got a ton of compliments. I did switch the cocoa powder for dark chocolate cocoa powder, and added in oreo crumbles into the ice cream rather than the sprinkles. I used the stabilized whipped cream on the outside with a little ganache and more oreo crumbles. BAM! Amazing. Thank you for the recipe.
