ICE CREAM CAKE ROLL

½ pkg. chocolate cake mix
3 eggs
½ c. water
carton of ice cream (any flavor), softened

Mix first three ingredients together and pour into a jelly roll pan lined with wax paper. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Gently turn cake out of pan and onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll the cake up into the towel to cool (this will help it keep its rolled shape). After the cake is cool, unroll it and spread a somewhat thin layer of softened ice cream evenly over the cake. Roll up the cake again and wrap it in plastic wrap and re-freeze (before freezing, you can frost the cake or put whipped topping on the cake if desired). Once frozen, cut the cake into slices and adorn the slices with chocolate drizzle, powdered sugar, whipped topping, etc.
