How to Make Mud Slide Ice Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with shortening or cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 3 large eggs. Mix with a spoon until just combined.
  4. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
  7. Brush the cooled cake with 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlua).
  8. Let 2 pints of vanilla ice cream stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften.
  9. Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the cooled cake.
  10. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
  11. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup chocolate frosting with 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur until smooth.
  12. Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the frozen ice cream layer.
  13. Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.
