Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ice cream

You will need these ingredients: 

Chocolate Ice-cream – 750gms (I used Amul) 
All-purpose flour – 1 cup
Baking soda – 1 tsp
Eggs – 2
Sugar – ¼ cup to ½ cup (this has to be adjusted according to the taste of the  ice-cream. If the ice-cream is extremely sweet, there is no need to add sugar) 
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp 
Dark mini Chocolate chips – ¼ cup (optional) 

Method: 
1) Preheat the oven to 220 Deg C. 
2) Pour the ice-cream into a big bowl and melt it completely and set aside until it reaches room temperature. 
3) Add in the eggs and sugar and whip the mixture well until combined and until the sugar dissolves completely. 
4) Add in the baking soda and the flour and mix it well. 
5) Pour in the vanilla essence. 
6) Whip the entire mixture for 5 minutes until combined well.
7) Grease a baking tray and spray some flour on it. (I used a baking tray of 9 inch diameter). 
8) Lightly tap the tray to release the air bubbles. 
9) Sprinkle the chocolate chips on the cake. 
10) Bake the cake in the oven preheated to 220 deg C for 25 to 30 minutes.
11) The cake is baked when a skewer inserted into it comes out clean without the dough on it. 
12) Cool the cake completely before cutting it into slices. 
13) The cake can be served with chocolate or butter icing.

Note:
1) You can also use self-raising flour to make this cake. In this case, you do not have to add baking soda.
2) If the ice cream you are using has eggs, you need not add eggs either.
3) If you do not have mini chocolate chips, you can also use tiny pieces of chocolate. Make sure that the pieces are not too heavy to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
