Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Shake Base

• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk

Cake

• 2 thin slices of cake (any flavor, preferably moist and soft)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Shake Base: Add the vanilla ice cream and whole milk to a blender. Blend on medium speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no ice cream lumps remaining.
2. Add Cake to Blender: Take one thin slice of cake and add it into the blender with the shake base. Blend again until the cake pieces are fully incorporated into the shake, creating a consistent texture throughout.
3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended cake shake into a tall glass. Top with the remaining slice of cake, placing it gently on the surface for garnish and an extra burst of cake flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, flavorful treat.

Notes

• Select a moist, soft cake such as sponge or pound cake for best blending results.
• For a thicker shake, use less milk or add more ice cream to your preference.
• Feel free to use flavored cake slices like chocolate or red velvet to customize the flavor.
• This shake is best enjoyed fresh; the cake slice on top will absorb moisture if left standing too long.
