7 Layer Brownie Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Trace an 8 inch circle on a piece of waxed paper, using a cake pan as
a guide. Place on a stack of 6 more pieces waxed paper. Using the
traced circle as a guide, cut through all pieces of paper, giving you
7 waxed paper rounds. Heat oven to 375 F. Have 2 cookie sheets and an
8 inch springform pan ready. Brownie Layers: Whisk cocoa, water, egg
and vanilla in a small bowl until blended and smooth. In a large bowl
with electric mixer, beat butter and sugar about 3 minutes until pale
and fluffy. Beat in cocoa mixture (batter may look curdled) With
mixer on low speed, gradually add flour until well blended (batter
will be very stiff). Spread the 7 rounds of waxed paper out on
countertop. Drop a levely 1/3 cup batter in center of each round.
Divide remaining 1/3 cup batter between rounds (about 2 teaspoons
each). Moisten a cookie sheet with water. Place 2 waxed paper rounds
on sheet (the water will stop them from slipping). Spread batter
almost to edges of rounds. Bake 8 minutes or until surface looks dry
and set but is slightly springy to the touch. (While first batch
bakes, spread out batter for next 2 layers.) Cool baked layers on
cookie sheet on wire rack 3 minutes. Put layers on waxed paper on a
wire rack. Let cool completely. Bake and cool remaining layers.

cream, ending with a brownie layer on top. Fold plastic wrap over top
