Ice Cream Roll Cake

This recipe is made in two parts. First make a jelly roll cake without the filling. The Chocolate Roll cake recipe below works well. You could also use other jelly roll cake (not regular cake or sheet cake) recipes, such as Lemon Roll cake, Pumpkin Roll cake, etc.
Next, make and freeze a batch of your favorite ice cream recipe.
After the ice cream is frozen and the cake is thoroughly cooled, spread ice cream onto cake, then roll back up again. Freeze solidly. Just before serving, thaw ice cream cake slightly and slice.
