Excellent. Made the mistake of making the flag cake also listed and it was a flop! The Round layer one. No flavor! This was a HUGE HIT with my kids and hubby too! This is going in our regular dessert rotaiont YUM. Easy too!

Great idea! Layered it with homemade strawberry and blueberry ice cream and topped it off with cream cheese whipped cream frosting. Yumm.

This is a great recipe. My SIL asked for an OREO cookie ice cream cake for her 50th birthday. I varied the recipe a little and it was wonderful. A hit all the way around. I noticed one reviewer on here mentioned that her cake crumbled during the cutting of the angelfood cake and I have a suggestion. Before cutting the cake into layers you should freeze it. As a cake artist and baker I can tell you that frozen cakes cut better and keep their form as opposed to warm or freshly baked cakes. Once cut and assembled the taste is just as good as that out of the oven, but you are able to do so much more with the cake as far as carving and creating interesting shapes.

I just made a variation of this cake for my daughter's 4th birthday. She loves pink and strawberries, so I bought a strawberry angelfood cake and strawberry ice cream and layered them. Then, I iced it with strawberry Cool Whip. It was very easy, very pink, and tasted very good.

I made this with confetti cake mix and two different ice creams. It turned out as well as a store bought cake and far cheaper! To divide the two layers into four layers, I put 8 toothpicks in and cut it with a long bread knife. I slid the top layer onto a cookie sheet (no sides) until I needed it. For the ice cream, I made it easier to spread by beating it with my electric mixer before spreading it. I did this straight from the freezer and it worked great. Make sure you have a level place in the freezer after it is all assembled--mine slid slightly to one side and froze that way. After the cake and ice cream were frozen really well, I iced it with a buttercream frosting and let that freeze . Wonderful--a hit with my family!

My family loved this cake and requested I make it again soon. I used Cool Whip for the frosting and baked the angel food cake from a mix. I froze the baked cake slightly to make it easier to cut.

I made this with chocolate cake and cookies and cream ice cream. I ran into a major problem- I think I didn't let the cakes cool enough before assembling them with the ice cream. I found a HUGE mess in the freezer a few hours after putting it all together. The ice cream had run everywhere, presumably because the cakes were too warm, despite being in the freezer. But, I salvaged what I could and everyone raved about the taste! Just a warning for future makers of this cake!

Difficult assembly due to ice cream melting and cutting into an Angel Food cake 3 times horizontally. The flavor was good, but the cake doesn't keep it's shape well. The cream on the outside gets harder than the ice cream upon freezing, so it cracks when you cut into it and the ice cream melts quickly. Again, the flavor was good, but I will not make it again, unless I substitute a white cake.

This recipe was great! I made it for my son's b-day. I did make some changes. I used a chocolate fudge cake mix in 2-9" round cake pans, seperating the layers into four total. I used chocolate chip ice cream on outside layers and one layer in the middle of chocolate chip mint ice cream. Used the icing. It was great!

WOW! What an awesome cake! Mine did not come close to looking as pretty as that picture but it doesn't really matter. This is very simple to make. I had a little bit of a problem getting the right consistency when layering the ice cream. My ice cream seemed to thaw too much and run when layering. DON'T WORRY if it looks messy while layering. I found if it gets too runny, throw it in the freezer. The frosting will cover the messiness up. I used strawberry and chocolate ice cream and also bought some hot fudge and spread it over the top layer of the cake before frosting. My family loved this and I got rave reviews. Thanks!
