Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt in large mixer bowl. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared cake pans. Bake until cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely.

Place 1 cake layer upside down on serving plate; top with ice cream removed from cake pan. Place second cake layer, top side up over ice cream layer. Gently spread whipped cream on top and sides of cake. With a decorator's tube or spoon, make a border of whipped cream around edge of top layer of cake. Fill center with cherry pie filling. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour before serving.
