I recommend using Splenda instead of sugar since there is sugar in the cake mix.
You can use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract if you please. You can also use 3/4 cup of cake mix.

Tips for the Perfect Scoop
Making this homemade dessert is a breeze, but a few pointers will ensure the best results:
- Sweetness Control: Since cake mix already contains sugar, we recommend using a sugar substitute like Splenda for the granulated sugar portion. This helps maintain that perfect sweet balance without being overly saccharine. However, if you prefer a richer sweetness, regular granulated sugar works too.
- Vanilla Boost: While 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract is delicious, feel free to amp up the flavor with 2 teaspoons for an even more pronounced vanilla note.
- Cake Mix Your Way: The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of cake mix, but you can increase it to 3/4 cup if you desire a stronger cake batter flavor and a slightly thicker texture.
- Chill Factor: Ensure your whole milk and heavy cream are well chilled. This is crucial for your ice cream maker to churn properly and create that wonderfully creamy consistency.
Serve your Cake Batter Ice Cream in bowls or cones, topped with extra sprinkles, a dollop of whipped cream, or even some crushed cookies for an extra special touch. It's a fantastic freezer dessert that's sure to be a hit!
