Chocolate Ice Cream Cake (But Not Like You Think)

I found this recipe on http://www.omnomicon.com. It originally came from an old church cookbook and was contributed by Connie Aubuchon. Unlike your typical modern ice cream cake, this one actually has the ice cream baked in. It looks really easy and has a rave review from the writer of the article in which it was posted.
