Ingredients
- 1½ cups Pillsbury Classic Yellow Moist Supreme cake mix (unprepared)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ cups heavy cream (chilled)
- 1½ cups whole milk (chilled)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and sugar until fully combined and free of lumps. Gradually add the milk while whisking to create a smooth mixture.
Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until everything is well blended. The mixture should have a creamy consistency with no visible lumps.
Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20–30 minutes). If using sprinkles, add them during the last few minutes of churning.
Scoop the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 6–8 hours or overnight for a firmer texture.

Tips & Tricks
- Heat-treat your cake mix: Bake it at 350°F for 5 minutes to eliminate any potential bacteria from raw flour.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to improve churning efficiency and texture.
- Don’t overfill your ice cream maker—leave room for air incorporation during churning.
Storage & Reheating
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if it’s too firm directly from the freezer.
