🍰 Instructions
1. Bake the Chocolate Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add milk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Stir in hot water slowly (batter will be thin).
Pour into pan and bake 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely. Level the top if needed.
2. Make the Edible Cookie Dough
Beat butter and sugars until creamy.
Mix in milk and vanilla.
Add heat-treated flour and salt; stir until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll into mini balls or flatten pieces to press between layers later.
3. Assemble the Ice Cream Cake
Once the cake has cooled, keep it in the springform pan.
Spread half the softened ice cream over the cake.
Dot with cookie dough chunks or mini dough balls.
Spread remaining ice cream on top and smooth.
Freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight until solid.
4. Ganache Topping (optional but epic)
Heat cream until steaming (not boiling).
Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 2 minutes.
Stir until smooth.
Let cool slightly, then pour over frozen cake.
Decorate with more cookie dough, chips, or whipped cream.
5. Serve with Love
Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
Use a warm knife to cut clean slices.
Serve and watch the smiles bloom.

🧪 Methods & Tips
Heat-Treat Flour: To make cookie dough safe, microwave flour for 1 minute or bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
Ice Cream Soften Tip: Let ice cream sit at room temp for 10 minutes so it spreads easily.
Use a Springform Pan: Makes it easier to release the layered cake.

🕰️ History & Formation
Ice cream cakes originated in the 19th century, evolving from Victorian-era “bombe” desserts. Chocolate chip cookie dough, a 1980s invention from Ben & Jerry’s, quickly became a cult classic. Combining these with cake formed a triple-threat dessert, layered for maximum indulgence. Over time, home bakers have transformed this into the ultimate frozen cake, loaded with nostalgia and joy.
