Instructions
Prepare the Chocolate Mocha Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking soda, brown sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla extract, vinegar, and water.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, carefully slice the cake horizontally into two even layers.
Assemble the Ice Cream Cake
- Place one cake layer in the springform pan.
- Soften one flavor of ice cream slightly at room temperature.
- Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the cake layer.
- Top with the second cake layer.
- Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Soften the second flavor of ice cream.
- Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the top layer.
- Freeze for another 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Make the Chocolate Ganache
- Finely chop the dark chocolate.
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer; do not boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute or two.
- Whisk until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
Make the Chocolate Mocha Frosting
- In a bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, instant coffee, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the sifted sugar mixture to the butter, mixing on low speed until combined.
- Add milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Finish and Decorate
- Remove the ice cream cake from the freezer and remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Pour the cooled ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Immediately return the cake to the freezer.
- Once the ganache is set, frost the cake with the chocolate mocha frosting using a piping bag and tip (optional).
- Decorate with cherries or other desired toppings.
- Return to the freezer until ready to serve. Allow to soften slightly before serving (about 10 minutes).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Ice Cream Cake:
- For even layers, use a cake leveler to ensure your cake layers are perfectly flat before assembling.
- Don't overmix the cake batter; overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
- Use high-quality ice cream for the best flavor and texture. Slightly softened ice cream is easier to spread.
- If your ganache is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm cream to thin it out. Work quickly when pouring the ganache to prevent the ice cream from melting.
