Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 1/3 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup crumbled yellow cake homemade or store-bought
  • 3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 teaspoon cake batter extract

Instructions

  • Mix together the sugar, milk powder, and xanthan gum in a bowl.
  • In a saucepan, combine the light corn syrup and milk. Whisk until fully combined. Pour in the sugar mixture. Whisk vigorously, until sugar is dissolved.
  • Set the pot over medium heat and bring up just to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat. Add the heavy cream and cake batter extract and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into a large airtight container. Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
  • Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is in the freezer!
  • Pour the ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and churn until the ice cream reaches soft serve stage.
  • In the last two minutes, add the crumbled cake and rainbow sprinkles, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the rainbow sprinkles for garnish.
  • Quickly scoop out the ice cream into a freezer container. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • When serving, sprinkle on more rainbow sprinkles.
