For Cake
1 18.25 oz box yellow cake mix
2 cups melted ice cream (this is approximately 1 pint of unmelted ice cream, it gets much more dense as it melts and it loses air)
1 egg
For Glaze
Equal parts semisweet chocolate and heavy cream
(I used about 4 oz of chocolate chips and 4 tbsp heavy cream for this recipe. If you want the glaze to cover the entire cake you'll need to make a little more).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a ten inch bundt pan. In a medium size mixing bowl stir together cake mix, melted ice cream, and one egg. The batter will be extremely thick. Pour and scrape the batter into the bundt pan, bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until top of cake is puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake sit in the pan and cool for about 15 minutes, then carefully loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a spatula and gently invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool.
While the cake is cooling, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the cream is slightly bubbly and hot through, remove it from heat and stir in the chocolate pieces until the glaze is dark brown and shiny. Let the glaze cool for a few minutes until it has slightly thickened, then pour it over the top of the cake and let it drizzle down the sides. Top the cake with fresh cherries right before serving, and enjoy!
