Ingredients
Chocolate Cake:
2 cartons Häagen-Dazs® Non-Dairy Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle, softened
2 cups raw cane sugar
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups Nestlé® cocoa powder
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

12 ounces dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Chocolate Cake:
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl combine warm water and chia seeds and let sit for about 20 minutes, and allow chia seeds to gel in water.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. After 20 minutes, add the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla to the chia water mixture and mix to combine.
With a mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Divide batter between two 9” round greased pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, cool.
Chocolate Glaze
Place chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl. Bring the almond milk to a simmer in a small pot on the stove. Add the hot almond milk to the morsels and stir until melted, allow to cool to room temperature.
Assembly
Line a 9” cake pan with plastic wrap. Place one of the cooled cakes in the cake pan. Empty one of the containers of ice cream on the cake and spread evenly to the edge of the cake. Place the second cake on top of the ice cream layer and repeat with the second pint of ice cream. Quickly place into freezer to set (about 30 minutes).
Remove from freezer, remove from cake pan, and place on a large cake plate, or flat surface that will fit in your freezer. While cake is still frozen, quickly ice cake completely with room temperature ganache. Top with 3/4 cup shaved dark chocolate (optional). Place cake back in freezer and allow to refreeze before serving.
