3. 3
   Cut 1 of the rectangles in 1/2 widthwise, then cut another 1 of the rectangles in 1/2 lengthwise.

   Lightly brush, our drizzle, the pound cake with the liqueur and leftover coffee, reserving some for the top piece.

   Scoop the ice cream into the cavity of the pound cake and smooth it out with a small offset spatula or your fingertips so that it is all even around the pan.
