Today’s my birthday! *dances*
I’m a huge fan of other people’s birthdays, but not so much my own. I’ve decided to embrace it this year – mainly because this ice cream has been on my “to make” list for months!
I have to tell you what happened though. I tried to make this ice cream 3 times before it finally worked! My husband, bless his heart, ran my ice cream maker bowl through the dishwasher. Why yes, there is a large sticker on the side that says not to do that but you know: men. The bowl froze normally but I couldn’t get ice cream to freeze in it! Eventually it did work though. It was bizarre.
The ice cream is beyond delicious. Cake batter ice cream is my alltime favorite and this is just as good as any you’d find at an ice cream shop. Maybe even better!
I woke up to a completely empty container the day after I made it. The kid was blaming my husband, husband was blaming the kid. At least someone enjoyed it, right?
Birthday Cake Ice Cream
from Joelen’s Culinary Adventures
1 cup milk
1/2 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup yellow cake mix, sifted
2 tablespoons sprinkles
Whisk together milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, cream, and cake mix in a saucepan until well blended. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), stirring frequently. Remove from heat and place in the refrigerator or freezer until liquid is cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions until it reaches “soft-serve” consistency. Stir in sprinkles by hand into the mixture and transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
First of all..happy birthday! Second of all..enjoy your ice cream it look fabulous. Third of all..I must invest in an ice cream maker. There is no way I can pass this recipe up lol. Any suggestions on a brand and style to purchase?? Thanks!
Happy Birthday!! I hope you had an awesome day and that both the husband and the kid spoiled you as you deserve :)
I have to admit that cake batter ice cream is my all-time weakness. I cannot think of anything I love more than a big bowl of sweet, cake-flavored ice cream. YUM! And the fact that you’ve adorned it with rainbow-colored dots just makes it all the better. Perfection.

Since I am gluten-free, I’ve never tried the cake batter flavored ice cream, and I’ve been so curious. Now, I can make my own version! Fabulous! Thanks for the recipe, and happy birthday :)
I really need to invest in an ice-cream maker. I borrowed my mom-in-laws last summer. Your bowl looks so perfect and tasty. Happy Birthday!

My ice cream maker doesn’t get enough use – I think I need to dust it off and try this recipe! Looks delish.
Wow I have got to try this
Can you use any cake mix
Yeah, I imagine any cake mix would work well. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)
