Rocky Road Cake

Submitted by Just Mandy

"There's melted ice cream in the batter! This is an adapted recipe from the Cake Mix Doctor (She used Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia). My friends loved this cake so much they all had TWO pieces! It is fluffy and a bit sticky with a light chocolate flavor. I make it in as a sheet cake but I bet it would make a lovely bundt cake! The topping is all mine. Marshmallow cream , hot fudge, nuts--need I say more? Try your own ice cream flavors and let me know how they turn out!"

6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on medium another minute or two until well blended.
7. Pour into pan and bake 30-35 minutes or until you can press on the top and it springs back slightly.
