Now here’s something to celebrate! With all the flavor of cake batter, a swirl of hot fudge and loads of sprinkles, these Funfetti Cake Batter Milkshakes are even better than licking the bowl after making a funfetti cake.
When Frank and I found out that Molly and Clara would likely be born in April, we knew that April would always be a big month of celebration for our family. (Frank and I both have April birthdays too!)
So when the girls were born ON my birthday, the universe deemed that it would forever be a day filled with fun (and cake)!
So today, I’m stopping in for just a minute to share this treat of the moment that follows the theme for the month…parties! When I came across this Birthday Cake Milkshake a few weeks ago while skimming every image google has that involves sprinkles, I had to have it.
The secret of this milkshake, and what makes it taste totally unlike any dessert I’ve ever had, is a bit of dry cake mix. I added a small bit of almond extract to bring out even more of that cake batter flavor.
And of course all the sprinkles!
