Ingredients

4 cups Ice Cream, Softened
1 box (about 18 Oz. Size) Cake Mix, Your Choice
Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
1 carton (8 Oz Size) Cool Whip Thawed
Sprinkles, As Needed

Directions

1

Line a 9-inch round pan with plastic wrap. Fill with softened ice cream of your choice (I used cookies and cream). Freeze for 2-3 hours until set.
2

Meanwhile, prepare and bake the cake mix of your choice (I used funfetti) according to package directions for two 9-inch round baking pans (you'll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package). Let cake cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
3

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Top with ice cream layer (removing the plastic wrap). Then invert the second cake layer on top of ice cream.
4

Cover the top and sides of the cake with Cool Whip and sprinkles. Freeze another 2 hours until set.

Note: Remember to remove the cake from the freezer for a while (20-30 minutes) before trying to cut the cake. Sometimes cutting the cake is the most difficult part.
