    The cake is basically the same thing as you'd get out of a box. If you're going to go through the trouble of making a cake from scratch, make a butter cake or pound cake. I thought the cake didn't have much flavor even though I used good quality cocoa.

    The ganache is a good touch. Icing/frosting an ice cream cake was my main concern since I was worried that regular frosting would freeze too hard. With ganache, the cream/chocolate ratio can be tweaked to get it just right.

    This was a wonderful cake to bake. It was actually my very FIRST home-made cake that I've tried - so it's very easy. The cake is delicious, but the only 'problem' that I encountered was the handling of the ganache, which was probably due to my lack-of-experience. However, I'm definitely going to try this again - other flavors, etc.

    After having read everyone elses review I made this cake for my daughters bday and everyone loved it. One family member said "This is like a high end bakery cake- its so professional" It was easy to make and so yummy.
    I did have to cook it 15 minutes longer than stated but that could just be my oven. This is a keeper for all birthdays.

    So I thought I would try something new for hubby for Father's Day. He isn't a big cake eater, but LOVES ice cream. His exact words were "the best cake ever." The kids loved it too! Don't let all the ingredients detur you, this is a winner and using the dutch chocolate made this a heavenly cake. Only thing I would change, minor, but I myself am not a big dark choc fan, so next time I might add a bit of powered sugar to the ganache. Though hubby loved it exactly the way it was.

    I have tried many recipes for ice cream cake for my son's birthday over the years and none have come close to this one. Many of the other recipes were more complicated than this one, and still they couldn't compare to this one.I highly recomend it.

    I made this for my son's birthday. It was great! Everyone loved it! We used to buy ice cream cakes from the local ice cream parlor, but this was so much better! Thanks! I used 2 13x9 pans for the cake instead of the big sheet pan....worked fine!

    I made this for my extended family for a birthday celebration. Everyone was blown away with it. I got compliments and rave reviews from everyone.

    It was rich without being sickenly rich. I made a cookies and cream version, not a mint chocolate chip one.

    It was tricky getting the layers together without cracking the cake.

    Visually, I thought it needed a little something more, and since I had a ton of the white chocolate/whipping cream mixture leftover, I whipped it mith some more whipping cream and piped it through a tip to decorate the edges of the cake.

    I'll defintely make this one again.

    The cake was very moist and would satisfy any chocolate fanatic. I substituted regular chocolate chip ice cream for the mint chocolate chip ice cream and it was fantastic. My Son requested an ice cream cake for his ninth birthday. We usually have birthday cake leftovers, but not this time!
