Cake-batter flavored ice cream?

[binkyboots]

On holiday in Miami with my sister recently, we absconded from our tour group and found a lovely ice cream shop, delicious flavours including birthday cake ice cream.

We had to try it, tasted just like cake batter (asnyone who licked the bowl as a child needs this!)

Since coming home I've been trying to find a recipe which will yield a similar taste as I'd love to use it as the filling for a meringue birthday cake for a friend of mine.

Much googling has been done, but nothing to show for it, any thoughts?

the girl at coldstone told me they actually add yellow cake mix to the ice cream mixture. i don't make ice cream so i don't know when or how, sorry.

Up until today, I never heard of Coldstone. I overheard someone talking about it at work. I thought of this post b/c they mentioned the birthday cake flavored ice cream. It sounds delicious!!

They make a birthdaycake flavor syrup. It's a big flavor for snowcones down here. I'd try that before I'd dump a cake mix into my custard, I just think that'd throw the texture waay off. Try googling (now over 200$/share btw) for snowcone/snowball syrups and/or recipes for them. might get lucky. I might bring my kids to a stand after the game today and I'll ask to see the bottle. Maybe it's got some information you could use to order on it.

Wedding Cake is one of my old standbys (it's basically like combining almond and vanilla). I like it with a little condensed milk over the top. I will most likely have one mid afternoon Friday at the Fairgrounds.

Turkey Hill made a thing called "Y2Cake" in 1999 to celebrate the year 2000. It had real pieces of what tasted like cake in it. They no longer make this. I remember it because it came in a plastic container I still use for storage od my brown sugar

KA Flours sells something called "Princess" flavour extract. I haven't tried it but the catalogue promises you that traditional "bakery" cake taste. Maybe a little of that in a vanilla ice cream recipe is all you need?

thanks guys, I had a suspicion it might be a syrup flavouring...

I will try and get hold of the princess flavouring though, that sounds pretty good and I wanted to order a couple of other bits from them. Being in the uk really is a pain sometimes, we dont seem to have an equivalent for king arthur's here
