Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Cake

This was my favorite cake when I was little.  I think I requested it every year.  I made it a few years for my daughter, and now she requests in every year. It's pretty simple, but makes a really big impact.

Ingredients:
Yellow cake
1 can frozen lemonade
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 large cool whip
red food coloring (optional)

Mix up a yellow cake mix and bake in 2 round cake pans. Let cool.

Mix the ice cream with 1/2 of the lemonade.  You can add food coloring to make it more pink. Line a round cake pan w/ wax paper and add the ice cream.  Return to freezer until it's hard.

Mix the Cool Whip w/ the remaining lemonade to make your frosting.
Place the ice cream layer between the cake layer and frost.  Return to freezer.

Variation.  My son wanted a chocolate ice cream cake.  I used chocolate cake topped w/ a little Hershey's syrup,  and cookies and cream ice cream.  I added a little cocoa powder to the Cool Whip.  It was so easy and so yummy.
