  5. Add the flax egg and mix until incorporated.
  6. Divide evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  8. Cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then flip onto the racks and cool completely.
  9. Rinse out one of the pans and line with plastic wrap. Spread softened ice cream in the pan and freeze for about 2 hours.
  10. After the cakes are cooled and the ice cream layer re-frozen, it's time to assemble.
  11. Place one of the layers on a plate, and spread a thin layer of frosting over the top. Sprinkle a generous amount of crushed oreos over the frosting.
  12. Flip your ice cream out of the pan and place over the crushed oreos.
  13. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top. Sprinkle a generous amount of crushed oreos over the frosting.

  16. Drizzle over your cake, quick to spread the ganache as the cake will freeze the chocolate.
  17. Pipe remaining frosting and top with halved oreos.
  18. Place in the freezer until ready to serve!
