Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the baking sheet. Coat a half-sheet pan with cooking spray and line with parchment. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together flour and sugar. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, add the oil, butter, water, and cocoa powder, stirring to incorporate. Bring to a gentle boil. Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour and sugar mixture and stir to combine. Add the buttermilk, baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Add the eggs and mix well to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
- In a medium saucepan placed over medium heat, combine the half-and-half and 1 1/2 cups heavy cream. Add the sugar, espresso powder, and salt, and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
- While the cream mixture heats, add the egg yolks to the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream, whisking to combine. When the cream is hot, slowly ladle some of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. This tempers the eggs so they don't scramble when added to the hot cream.
- Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the hot cream mixture while whisking. Cook over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, being careful not to boil the cream mixture.
- Strain the mixture into a heat-proof bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap directly on top of the cream mixture. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Transfer to an ice cream machine and churn until the mixture is the consistency of soft serve. This takes approx. 45 minutes in my machine. Transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze until firm but still spreadable, approx. 1-2 hours.
- Once the cake is cooled, flip the cake out onto a cutting board. Cut three pieces of cake, approx 4" x 8" to fit in a loaf pan. Transfer the cut cake pieces back to the sheet pan and place in the freezer until firm.
- Line a 4" x 8" loaf pan with plastic wrap. Place one piece of cake in the bottom of the pan. Cover with ice cream in a layer 3/4 - 1 inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ice cream is firm, at least one hour.
- Remove pan from freezer and top with the second piece of cake and another layer of ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and return to freezer until firm.
- For the ganache, add the chocolate morsels to a heat-proof bowl. In a saucepan, heat cream or half-and-half until hot but not boiling. Pour over chocolate and let sit for 60 seconds. Stir until chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Let cool until thickened but still pourable. Approx one hour.
- Place a rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray. Remove the third piece of cake and the loaf pan from the freezer. Place the last piece of cake on the rack. (This piece of cake will become the bottom of the cake.) Invert the loaf pan on top of the piece of cake and remove pan and plastic wrap. Pour the ganache evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to run down the sides to coat. The ganache will start thickening quickly from the cold cake. Transfer the sheet pan to the freezer to allow the ganache to firm up. The ganache will not freeze rock-hard, so it is easy to slice the cake right out of the freezer.
- Slice and enjoy. Wrap leftover cake in plastic to store for a few days.

Freeze until cream is set, at least 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep frozen.) Sprinkle chocolate shavings over top of cake. Run knife between pan sides and cake to loosen. Remove pan sides. Using small metal spatula or knife, smooth cake sides. Let cake stand at cool room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
COFFEE-PRALINE CRUNCH ICE CREAM CAKE
Inspired by butter-pecan ice cream, this cake combines crunchy praline with graham crackers, coffee ice cream and fudge sauce to make an impressive, but easy to assemble dessert. Store-bought pralines are perfect here, but if you can't find them, you can make them from scratch with pantry staples. While they can be a little tricky, even a failed praline tastes great nestled in an ice cream cake, but toffee brickle or even just plain chopped nuts could stand in for the praline, too. While you could certainly buy fudge sauce, it's the one component that is definitely better homemade, just sweet enough and deeply chocolatey. Make a double batch for future sundaes.

Steps:
- Prepare the fudge sauce: Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, butter and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and cook for another minute or two, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is thick and glossy. Run the sauce through the sieve into the bowl, working out any lumps directly in the sieve. Stir in vanilla. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. (You should have about 2 cups.) About 30 minutes before you assemble the cake, remove the ice cream from the refrigerator to soften.
- To assemble the cake, spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. (This is just to help keep the plastic in place.) Press plastic wrap into the pan, making it as smooth as possible against the bottom and sides of the pan, leaving a 3-inch overhang on each of the two long sides.
- Spread one third of the softened ice cream (about 2 cups) evenly over the bottom of the pan. (If your ice cream is still too firm to spread, cut it into slices, arrange them in a layer and smooth using an offset spatula.) Lay 3 crackers over the top, breaking them to fit as needed. Top with 1/3 of the fudge sauce (about ⅔ cup), using an offset spatula to spread evenly, and half of the praline, patting into an even layer. Top with another 1/3 of the ice cream, 3 more crackers, 1/3 more fudge sauce and the remaining praline. Finish with the remaining 1/3 of ice cream and 4 more crackers. Use the plastic overhang to wrap the cake up tightly and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
- To serve, unwrap the plastic wrap, then quickly rub the outside of the pan with a warm, moistened kitchen towel to loosen. Flip out onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and more chopped praline. Cut slices with a knife dipped in hot water. (If too hard to slice, let sit for a few minutes to soften.) Serve with the remaining fudge sauce, warmed, if desired.

MOCHA ICE CREAM
Think of this as a chocolate Vietnamese iced coffee in dessert form. The original recipe appeared in The New York Times in June 1944 - wartime, when cream was scarce and the paper's home economists experimented with gelatin and rennet to give ice cream texture. After the war, the recipe reappeared (along with the cream) in the pamphlet "12 Frozen Desserts." Undiluted cold-brewed coffee is substituted here for the strong black coffee in the original recipe to produce a much smoother taste.
