Recipe for Coffee Ice Cream Cake or just Coffee Cake?

for my mom's birthday she wants a cake like one she had that her friend bought. A coffee ice cream cake. I called around and no one makes that. So, if I want to make one myself, what's the best way? Any recipes would be appreciated. Do you think I should do the cake like a coffee cake with actual coffee in it or just do coffee cake as in the basic cinnammon white cake type thing that you have with coffee? And then should the ice cream be coffee ice cream or just french vanilla or something? Suggestions and recipes welcomed. Thanks! Oh, and is the best method for layering the icecream between the cake to just mix the ice cream until spreadable, or to cut it with floss as I've read in some recipes?Recipe for Coffee Ice Cream Cake or just Coffee Cake?
Make Ice Cream and put it into a cake pan to freeze. Make a chocolate cake and place the IceCream between the two layers, frost with vanilla icing, not butter cream. At a coffee house you can purchase chocolate covered coffee beans, decorate the cake with them. Yes you can freeze the cake, that's why you didn't use buttercream frosting.
