ISO: ISO a chocolate cake recipe suitable for using in an ice cream cake.

I have had the worst luck lately with cakes - I used to never have issues with not being able to get them out of the pan, etc. but somehow I have lost my baking muse or something.

I need a good moist chocolaty cake recipe to make an ice cream cake for my DS's birthday.

The chocolate chiffon layers from the chocolate mousse cake at the link would work

well for your ice cream cake.

I would use a Texas sheet cake recipe.And use all butter. nt

Thanks for this - I think it will be a winner!

That's a good idea - I always forget Texas sheet cake.

LOL---I never forget it!! So easy and so good.And I really

do suggest using all butter (recipes are all over the place on shortening). When I do people really comment on how good it is. Enjoy.

This worked out *really* well - I will use it for ice cream cakes from now on.

DS loved it, and his friends were impressed that I made it. Keep in mind it was not fancy, but home made treats, and especially birthday cakes, must be a rarity.

I made it with mint chip ice cream and frosted with sweetened whipped cream. I assembled it in a spring form pan, and froze before frosting which worked really well.
