Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla cake crumbled into small pieces
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 4 egg yolks optional, for a richer texture

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
  3. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20–25 minutes).
  4. Add the Cake and Sprinkles: In the last 5 minutes of churning, fold in the crumbled cake pieces and sprinkles to evenly distribute.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop, serve, and enjoy the creamy, birthday cake-flavored delight!

Notes

For a smoother texture, strain the ice cream base before churning.
Use a freshly baked cake or leftover cake for the best taste.
Substitute rainbow sprinkles with chocolate chips for a fun variation.
