Thurston Ice Cream Cake

I remember Aunt Alice making this for her kids' birthday when they were young. I love this recipe! I've made it once or twice for Gerald's birthday, as well.

3/4 c. flour
1/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 gallon of ice cream
frosting

Line a jelly roll pan with wax paper. Stir together the four, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Beat 4 eggs for 6 minutes. Gradually add the sugar. On low speed, blend in water and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just smooth. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes. Remove from pan with wax paper. While still hot, put another piece of waxed paper on top of the cake. Put a towel on top of the wax paper, and roll the cake up into a spiral. Allow to cool. After the cake is cooled, unroll gently and remove the towel and wax paper. Cut the ice cream into thick but even slices and spread evenly over the top of the cake. Roll up again with the ice cream in the middle and frost. Place the cake back in the freezer just until the ice cream is firmer. Serve.
