How to Make Chocolate Malt Ice Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and lightly flour a 9x3 inch or 10x2 ¾ inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1 cup water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Stir vigorously for 1 minute until well blended.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
  9. Spread 1 cup fudge topping evenly over the cooled cake.
  10. Freeze for about 1 hour, or until the topping is firm.
  11. In a large bowl, gently fold 2 pints chocolate ice cream and 1 cup coarsely chopped malt candies together.
  12. Spread the ice cream mixture evenly over the fudge layer.
  13. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is completely firm.
  14. In a chilled medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  15. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
  16. Transfer the cake to a serving plate.
