Ice Cream Tunnel Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Holly Jean VeDepo

"My son found this yummy recipe a few years ago and now it's a Yuletide tradition. A boxed mix makes preparation easy. For a fun variation, try mint-chocolate chip ice cream."

INGREDIENTS

1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1/2 cup mint chocolate chips
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Cool completely.
Slice top fourth off cake; set aside. Using a sharp knife, carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1-in. shell (save removed cake for another use). Place cake shell in freezer for 1 hour. Fill tunnel with ice cream; replace cake top. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.
Just before serving, melt chips and corn syrup in a microwave; stir until smooth. Stir in cream and vanilla. Spoon over cake.

FOOTNOTES

If mint chocolate chips are not available, place 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract in a plastic bag; seal and toss to coat. Allow chips to stand for 24-48 hours.
*Editor's Note: If mint chocolate chops are not available, place 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and a few drops of peppermint extract in a plastic bag; seal and toss to coat. Let stand for 24-48 hours before using.
