 Ingredients

 2 litre tub Bulla Choc Chip Ice Cream

4 40g box golden butter cake mix

1. Grease a 20cm-round cake pan. Line base and side with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above pan edges.

4. Increase speed to medium. Beat for a further 2 minutes, or until thick. Pour into prepared pan. Smooth over top of cake mix.

5. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven. Stand in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Spread frosting over top of cake. Serve cut into wedges.
