Remove the frozen cake from the tin; slice into 3 layers. Line the tin with a long sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper, so that the chilled cake can be lifted out later for frosting.
Put the first layer of cake, cut side up, back into the bottom of the tin; drizzle 2-4 T. Kahlua onto the surface. Spread the chocolate ice cream evenly over the surface. Place the second layer of cake on top; press down with even pressure to get it on securely. Drizzle it with Kahlua. Spread the coffee ice cream evenly over the cake.
Put on the last layer of cake, cut side up; press down evenly; drizzle with Kahlua. Wrap the cake with plastic wrap; put back in the freezer to harden, at least 2 or more hours.
In the meantime, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla after the cream starts to thicken. Fold in the room temperature mascarpone cheese. Keep folding gently until fully incorporated.
When the cake is fully hardened, remove it from the tin; place on a plate or platter. Coat the top and sides of the cake liberally with the mascarpone cream frosting. Dust with lots of chocolate shavings.
Put it back in the freezer, uncovered, until ready to serve. If you are keeping the cake for more than a couple of hours, let the frosting harden a bit, and then cover with plastic wrap.
Serve straight out of the freezer.
10 servings.
*This cake could be done with or without alcohol. It could also be made with brightly colored ice cream and sprinkles.
**If you have a smelly freezer, be sure to cover cake with plastic wrap, if you intend to store it for any amount of time, or the cake will absorb the odors.
***If mascarpone cheese is cold, zap it for 15 seconds or so in the microwave and then stir well.
****Lots of chocolate shavings could be added to each layer, if desired.
