NOTES:

  • *Yellow cake mix: You must bake the cake mix before making this recipe. This ensures it is safe to consume.
  • Ice cream maker vs. no churn: I recommend using an ice cream maker because it will create a creamier consistency.
  • How to store: Store cake batter ice cream inside an airtight container with a lid. Keep in the freezer and enjoy within 2 weeks.
