A quick and easy homemade cake batter milkshake with whipped cream and sprinkles, perfect for a nostalgic and indulgent treat that feels like a celebration in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or 2%/plant-based milk like almond or oat)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) yellow cake mix
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Sprinkles (rainbow or any fun variety)
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: handful of white chocolate chips
  • Optional: a drop of food coloring

Instructions

  1. Measure out 2 cups (480 ml) of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup (240 ml) of milk, and 1/2 cup (60 g) of yellow cake mix. Have your vanilla extract ready.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the milk with the cake mix until smooth and no lumps remain (about 2 minutes).
  3. In your blender, add the ice cream, cake mix-milk mixture, and vanilla extract. Pulse for 30 seconds, then blend on high for about 1 minute until creamy and smooth. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a teaspoon of sugar or honey and blending again for 10 seconds. Add a pinch of salt if too sweet.
  5. Pour the milkshake into glasses. Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest results. Avoid over-blending to prevent melting the ice cream too much. Add sprinkles last to keep their crunch and color. For dairy-free, use coconut milk ice cream and coconut whipped cream. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cake mix. Chill glasses before serving for best experience.
