I hate to be the ogre who gives the thumbs down, but this is not quite right. To me, it tasted like custard. Also, for ice cream shop (c.s. in particular, which I am a frequent customer of) cake batter ice cream, there is a distinct (for lack of a better term) "powdery" taste, which I love. It makes it actually taste like cake mix. IF i were to try and make this again I would do a full cup of mix. Also, when cooking it, my mixture jumped quickly from 150 degrees all the way to 175. I'll watch that more carefully, in case that added to the 'custardy' flavor. Decent, but not what I was hoping for.

Pretty good - needs some changes as some of the reviews suggested but tried it as is first. Will make again using more cake mix.

This is the best ice cream I've ever had. Seriously, I'm tempted to go back in the kitchen right now and get more. I can't imagine any way that this could be made better. Smooth, tasty, and very similar to what you can buy at the ice cream shop.

The first time I attempted to make this my house was crazy and I was slightly distracted and instead of 3/4 cup cake mix I added almost the entire box of cake mix. Needless to say it came out extremely thick and more cakey than ice cream haha...second attempt was a much better success and very easy to follow if you actually read the measurements and very yummy :)

This was yummy but I'll definitely make some tweaks next time. I added a full cup of cake mix as some of the reviewers suggested but I think the cake batter flavor was a little overwhelming so I'll stick to 3/4 cup next time. Also, the mixture formed large clumps at the bottom even though I was stirring constantly over medium/low heat. Not sure how I'll avoid this next time. Finally, make sure you freeze the ice cream before serving, I served it immediately and it was a little too custard-y (we froze the leftovers and they were so much better). FYI I used the Kitchenaid ice cream attachment.

It's cake batter, it's ice cream, it's delicious! This is a rich and creamy treat that I will make again. I did follow others advice by upping the cake mix to 1 cup. Can't wait to try it with yellow cake mix.

great recipe. I made mine with red velvet cake mix and pieces of red velvet cake it turned out perfect. I did add 1 cup of milk and 4 egg yolks to make it more custard like. Also, it is better to add the cake mix and cream after you cook the yolks, sugar, and milk to keep it from being so thick and cooking the cake mix. great idea!

Tastes EXACTLY like the Cake Batter ice cream at Coldstone. Delicious. Used 1 cup yellow cake mix instead of 3/4 cup.

Im sure it is great if using the right cake mix. DO NOT use funfettie cake mix. I will try this again but with a yellow cake mix like another user suggested.
