Prepare Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.
Assemble Cake
  1. Once the cake is cool, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
  2. Place one layer of cake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of softened vanilla ice cream on top.
  3. Add the second layer of cake on top of the ice cream, then spread a layer of softened chocolate ice cream.
  4. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours to set.
Frost and Serve
  1. Remove the cake from the freezer and frost the top and sides with whipped cream.
  2. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for decoration.
  3. Slice and serve immediately, or return to the freezer until ready to serve.
