    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 3/4 cup hot strong brewed coffee

      • 8 tablespoons whipping cream, divided

      Cake Preparation:

      • Preheat oven to 350º. Grease and flour 3 (8-inch) round cake pans. Line with parchment paper. Prepare Devil's Food Cake Batter, and spoon into pans.
      • Bake at 350º for 12 to 14 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, peel off parchment paper, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
      • Place 1 cake layer in a 9-inch springform pan. Top with one-third of ice cream (about 2 1/3 cups); sprinkle with half of crushed wafers. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining cake layer and ice cream. Freeze 8 to 12 hours.
      • Remove cake from springform pan, and place on a cake stand or plate. Prepare Chocolate Ganache, and spread over top of ice-cream cake. Let it sit for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired. 
      Preparation of Devil's Food Cake Batter:
      •  Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Add egg replacer, beating just until blended.
      • Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Add to butter mixture alternately with coffee, beating until blended. Stir in vinegar. Bake batter immediately. 

      Preparation of Chocolate Ganache:

      • Melt  chocolate and 4 Tbsp. whipping cream in a pan in low heat. Stir until melted, stirring at 30-second intervals.
      • Stir in up to 4 Tbsp. additional cream for desired consistency. Use immediately.
