Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Yellow cake mix (store-bought or homemade, heat-treated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Butter extract (optional, for extra cake flavor)
- 0.5 cup Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Ensure the bowl of your ice cream maker has been placed in the freezer for at least 12-24 hours before starting.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, yellow cake mix, and butter extract (if using). Whisk until the cake mix is completely incorporated with no lumps remaining.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, set up your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pour the cake batter mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for about 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
During the last 2 minutes of churning, slowly add the rainbow sprinkles, allowing them to scatter evenly throughout the ice cream.
For firmer ice cream, transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours.
Scoop, serve, and enjoy your Creamy Birthday Cake Batter Ice Cream!
