Delicious Ice Cream Cake!

I have never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies and in order to stop the relentless mocking at work I went over to my friend's house for dinner, dessert, and Indiana Jones. This was a great opportunity to use my awesome Betty Crocker Bake n'Fill pan, my dad got it for me a few years ago and I absolutely love it!

This time I made a Devil's Food Cake with light mint chocolate chip ice cream and a satiny chocolate glaze and absolutely delicious on a hot day! One of the good things about this cake is that if you leave it in the freezer for awhile you can let it sit out for a little bit and it stays cold enough until you cut it. It was delicious and everybody loved it!

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

(Source: allrecipes.com)

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

The original directions:

- In a double boiler over hot, but not boiling water, combine chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, then add vanilla.

My directions:

- Melt the chocolate chips and butter in the microwave 45 seconds to a minute and then stirring and then another 20 seconds until melted.

- Add corn syrup and vanilla and stir until smooth.

Notes:

- The Satiny Chocolate Glaze recipe is originally for a bundt cake but it is delicious and easy so for this recipe I did the chocolate in stages to see how much I actually needed and I used a bag of chocolate chips and basiclaly did the recipe by 1.5. I then covered the whole cake in it and put it back in the frezzer to harden.
