Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir in the vanilla, vinegar, and oil. Add the water and stir well. Immediately pour the mixture into the two cake pans, dividing evenly, and bake at 350ºF for 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool before removing them from the pans, then divide each cake into two layers. Put the bottom layer of one cake on a serving platter. Spread one pint of the nondairy ice cream over the top and sprinkle it with the ground cookies. Place cake, uncovered, in the freezer for several hours to firm up.
