Strawberry Torte

Made this cake for the first time at a Newcomers Gourmet Group, probably in the '90's! Great summer dessert and great to have on hand in the freezer. One of Tara's favorites!

2  8" cake layers (cherry chip or white)
1 1/2 qt strawberry ice cream, softened
1 1lb pkg strawberries, thawed
2 Tbs cornstarch
3 tsp lemon juice
3 Tbs sugar

Bake, cook, & split cake into 4 layers. Spread ice cream between layers (3 layers ice cream, 4 layers cake.) Cover and freeze till firm.
Puree strawberries and blend in a saucepan with remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil, stirring. Simmer until it turns to a clear consistency and thickens. Cool. Spread on cake just before serving.
