Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Vanilla cake mix (or chocolate, if preferred)
- 3 large Eggs (for the cake mix)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for the cake mix)
- 1 cup Water (for the cake mix)
- 1.5 quarts Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Chocolate fudge sauce
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 8 whole Maraschino cherries
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions by mixing the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water together until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the baking dish, about 1 hour.
Once the cake has cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
Warm the chocolate fudge sauce slightly in the microwave to make it easier to pour, then drizzle it evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
Spread softened vanilla ice cream over the entire surface of the cake to create an even layer. Place the dish in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
When ready to serve, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the ice cream layer.
Pipe or spoon whipped cream over the entire surface and garnish with chopped nuts, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries.
Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers covered in the freezer.
