Rainbow Ice Cream Cake
"this is a really pretty cake when you slice it. If you are making this for kids you can leave the rum out.
You can freeze the ice cream layers several days ahead. Bake cake layers, assemble cake, without frosting, wrap in aluminum foil, freeze. To serve, remove from freezer, frost just before serving."
