Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a large, rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt until it's smooth. This will create a very thick batter.
Spread the batter out to about one-quarter- to one-half-inch thick. The main goal is to have the thickness be as consistent as possible so the cake bakes evenly. Mine did not go all the way to the edges of my pan.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the cake is set (depending on how thinly you spread it out, you may need to watch it carefully so it doesn't burn).
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, cut it in half to create two, equal parts. Spread the ice cream evenly over one half of the cake and then top with the other half. Put the whole thing in the freezer to let it firm back up—probably about 30 minutes, depending on your freezer and how soft your ice cream was.
Slice into your desired size of sandwiches and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
