Personal Notes:
This may come as a shock, we weren't always as insanely wealthy as we are now. There was a time that our family had to pinch all the pennies. This ice cream cake recipe was a favorite. Easy to make, wayyy cheaper than a store-bought cake, and so good! Switch up the toppings and you have a whole different cake.
