Ingredients

Funfetti Cake

  • 1 box Funfetti Cake Mix plus ingredients as directed on the box

Ice Cream Layer

  • 1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Decoration

  • Rainbow Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Bake Funfetti Cake: Prepare the Funfetti cake batter according to the directions on the box. Pour into the prepared pans and bake for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely before assembly.
  3. Make Whipped Cream: In a stainless-steel bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture until stiff peaks form, which will create a stable whipped cream for assembling the cake.
  4. Assemble Ice Cream Cake Layer 1: Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform or cheesecake pan with parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream evenly over the parchment paper.
  5. Layer Cake and Ice Cream: Place one cooled 8-inch Funfetti cake layer into the pan on top of the whipped cream. Spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly over this cake layer and smooth the top to ensure an even layer.
  6. Top with Second Cake Layer: Place the remaining Funfetti cake layer on top of the ice cream layer, pressing gently to secure.
  7. Add Final Whipped Cream Layer: Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top cake layer evenly, smoothing it with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
  8. Freeze Cake: Place the assembled ice cream cake in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set firmly.
  9. Unmold the Cake: When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer. Invert the cheesecake pan onto a cake stand, unlock the springform pan ring, and slide it off carefully. Peel away the parchment paper from the top of the cake.
  10. Decorate and Serve: Decorate the top of the cake with rainbow sprinkles or any decorations of your choice. Keep the cake frozen until ready to serve for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Keep leftover Funfetti ice cream cake tightly wrapped and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months for optimal freshness.
  • Use a warm knife when slicing the cake to ensure clean and even slices without cracking or crumbling.
  • Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften by taking it out of the freezer about 15 minutes before assembly to make spreading easier.
