I am making a cake for my sons 2nd birthday, and I want to put ice cream in the middle portion of the cake. How do you go about doing this?

INGREDIENTS
1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream, softened (any type of ice cream and cake can be used--I love butter pecan, and pecan cake mix.)
DIRECTIONS
Prepare cake according to package directions; bake in a 9x13 inch baking dish and cool completely.
Use ice cream that comes in a rectangular carton. Remove the carton and, using a piece of string or dental floss, cut the ice cream in half lengthwise (long side to long side) and place the two layers side by side on a piece of waxed paper.
Place the cooled cake over the ice cream. Trim the cake and ice cream so that the edges match.
Place a board or serving platter over the cake, hold onto the waxed paper and board, and flip the ice cream cake over. Remove the waxed paper and smooth out the seam between the ice cream slabs.
Cover with waxed paper and freeze until very firm. Decorate as desired.

Aaah... the delights of baking for your children.
Firstly, you'd have to start off with a sponge cake or I believe they call it Angel food cakes in the USA. The reason for this is that if you use a normal butter cake, you cant freeze it and you need to freeze it if making an ice cream cake right?!! :)
After baking (or buying) the sponge (angel) cake. split it in two. Place it in a springform pan and then spoon the ice cream all over the first layer. Then cover it with another layer of sponge cake. You can make as many layers as you like and either finish with a cake layer or an ice cream layer.
And then of course, FREEZE it preferably overnight. To serve, run a warm knife round the edges and then remove the springform.
Enjoy!

Never saw it but this came to my mind. Take a pan rhw same size of the cake and fill about 1/2 way with ice cream and put back in freezer. after cake is cool, cut in 1/2 put ice cream in middle, decorate as you wish. To get ice cream out of pan turn upside down with plate under it use hot towel on bottom of pan and side until ice cream falls down on plate, then place 1/2 the cake on it turn it over with a plate, then place second piece of cake place that on top, turn over again, and your done. Hope you understand this, it just came into my mind.

You can make any kind of cake into an ice cream cake. You can take a regular round cake. Let the ice cream get soft and then put it between the layers. Have your frosting ready and quickly frost it, put on sprinkles or whatever and freeze it.

i generally put vanilla icing on the black forest cake, when the cake has cooled enough
