ICE CREAM SUNDAE 4 LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE

I am in total love with this cake!
For Sweets birthday he asked me to make him a German Chocolate cake, but considering I don't like German Chocolate I opted to make another kind of Chocolate cake instead. One that I would like - Sorry babe! Then, as I was reading the ingredients for this particular chocolate cake, I saw that the ice cream wasn't in layers, but mixed in with the batter! I new right then I had to make it! Holy Cow...it is the  most scrumptious cake EVER! No lie... 

Cake
1 box Devils Food Cake mix

1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix ( I used chocolate fudge)

4 eggs

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil ( I used canola)

1 heaping cup of Ice Cream ( I used Mint Chocolate chip)

1/4 cup Hot fudge sauce

Preheat oven to 350. Place cake mix, pudding, eggs, water, oil, ice cream and hot fudge sauce into a mixer. Beat on low then medium until well combined and thick. Divide evenly into 4 (9 inch) cake pans ( I used 2 (9 inch) pans b/c I didn't have 4 of them) that have been sprayed generously with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or  until toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let cool completely, loosen sides and remove from pan. 

Place bottom layer on a cake stand, spread with your favorite chocolate frosting and repeat until top and sides are covered. 

Take a vegetable peeler and peel chocolate bloc to get curls and press onto sides of cake about 2 cups. (I used mini chocolate morsels instead)

 For my frosting I used:

16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 stick unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
about 1 cup or so of powdered sugar

Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan containing 1 inch of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Increase heat to medium; add sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt and stir until dissolved. Add melted chocolate, butter mixture and cream to a mixer bowl and stir until combined.
Place mixer bowl over ice bath and stir mixture constantly until frosting is thick. Place bowl on stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until frosting is light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and mix until combined. Ready to use or if it is still a little soft, chill in the fridge until desired thickness.
