Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before assembling the ice cream cake.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, rum extract, and nutmeg. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled cake in half horizontally. Place one half of the cake back into the greased pan. Spread a layer of the ice cream mixture over the cake, then place the other half of the cake on top. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften. Use a knife dipped in warm water to loosen the sides of the cake from the pan, then carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Slice and serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped pecans if desired.
