  • Swap the chocolate cake mix for a brownie mix to create a richer dessert variation.
  • If you want to make it ahead, assemble the cake but hold off on baking until ready to serve.

On top of the crumbs sits a smooth, round scoop of creamy white vanilla ice cream. Dark, glossy chocolate syrup is being poured over the ice cream, drizzling down in thick, flowing lines and pooling slightly on the chocolate cake base, creating a rich contrast between the dark syrup, white ice cream, and dark cake crumbs. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
