This homemade birthday cake funfetti ice cream is the perfect sweet treat for any celebration and it couldn't be easier to make without any fancy equipment or ice cream makers
Place a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan in the freezer to chill.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
In a separate large bowl, use a handheld electric beater to whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Whisk 1/4 of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk/vanilla mixture until well-combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the remaining 3/4 of the whipped cream 1/4 at a time.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in the freezer until semi-frozen, about 1 to 2 hours. Stir in 6 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles and the crumbled cake.
Pour the mixture into the chilled loaf pan. Smooth out the top, sprinkle on the remaining 1 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles, and cover with plastic wrap.
Freeze until solid, about 6 to 8 hours.

Notes
To really bump up the birthday cake flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon birthday cake flavoring. Look for it near the vanilla extract in the grocery store or find it on Amazon.
Let this ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.
You can use any flavor of cake you like for this; yellow cake is classic! Also, you can use frosted pieces of cake (the frosting adds decadence), or scrape off the frosting if you prefer.
I recommend using rainbow jimmies in ice cream. Jimmies are less likely to bleed color into your ice cream base and can easily be mixed in without breaking.
