Yay for day 4 of #icecreamweek! Did you get a glimpse of that title? It says cake batter!
Everybody loves cake batter. I know I do. I love to lick it off the whisk, the wooden spoon, the spatula, straight out of the bowl. Have you ever stuck your face directly in the bowl and licked the sides of the bowl to get every last bit of batter. No. That’s just me. How embarrassing! Let’s pretend I didn’t divulge that little tidbit of information.
This milkshake is AMAZING! It’s thick and creamy and tastes just like you’re eating devil’s food cake batter right off the beaters, minus the raw eggs of course. And, it has a banana in it, which means it’s semi healthy. Don’t crush my dreams, now. It’s semi healthy, and I’m stickin’ to it. I can’t bear to buy a bigger pair of expandable pants.
Here’s a little bit about me and bananas. I don’t like bananas when they get all spotty and brown. I will not eat them when they look like bananas in the photo above. Blehk! They’re too mushy for me, and I can no longer tolerate the texture when they become over ripe. I’m making my “I hate brown bananas” face as I type this- lips puckered, forehead scrunched, brows narrowed. It’s not a good look. Instead of wasting them, I use them in things like cookies, bread, pudding, and these milkshakes.
I used a 1/2 cup of devil’s food cake batter in these shakes. The chocolate cake batter enhances the chocolate flavor, taking it to a new level of chocolatey goodness. It all creates a nice, thick shake. The kind where you’re cheeks pucker in because you’re sucking on the straw so hard to get a taste of the goodness within.
Chocolate + banana + cake batter= The best shake EVER!
What have we learned from this post? Don’t waste bananas… Make milkshakes!
Don’t forget to visit my #icecreamweek pals, Jen from Juanita’s Cocina and Carla from Chocolate Moosey to see what they have churning.

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
What a brilliant way to use a cake mix! I’m sure this was one fabulous tasting shake! Can’t wait to give it a try!
An, it was insanely good. I have 4 more bananas. This could mean trouble… for my waist line!

It is absolutely free and fun to make others hungry!
This shake is serious. And with cake mix, who knew? Gorgeous
This is one seriously good shake! Thanks, Paula!
Oh wow. Yum. This looks amazing. MMMMM!
Thanks, Kayle. This little bugger is addictive. Beware!
I would never had thought of using cake mix in a milkshake. Interesting and something I need to try. Tasty milkshake recipe too.
Thanks, Renee. Oh, it’s so good. You must try it one day.
Um YES!! I love cake batter. Next time I have overripen bananas, screw banana bread. I’m making milkshakes.
I’m kind of feeling bad for banana bread now. Everyone is going to kick it to the curb for these shakes.
You’re a jimmy person. I’m a “sprinkle” person. It’s okay. Neither one of us is wrong…*ahem*
Happy Day #4 of #IceCreamWeek my love!
I love anything cute and fun topping anything with fluffy frosting. I may have one too many sprinkle/jimmy choices in my baking cabinet.
Good god… Jennie, marry me. And I totally agree that bananas make it healthy. That way you can drink it for breakfast.
Is that an official proposal, Kim? As long as you feed me s’mores snacks for the rest of my life, then it’s a yes!
This was the first thing I saw on Facebook this morning and I am OBSESSED Jennie! I need to stop checking fb on my phone while i’m still in bed bc now all I want is a milkshake… and its 10am… looks SO good!
Breakfast? It’s a nutritional breakfast; it has bananas in it. Trust me, you need to make this.
Oh yum! These look faaantastic!
Thanks, Madeleine!
yum! this is a great way to use of ripened bananas, so much easier then making bread. I am def going to remember this when I have ripe bananas
Thanks, April. I believe it to be a much tastier way
oh my gosh, that sounds so delicious and fabulous! i could totally go for one right now!
Thanks, Caralyn. I have all of the ingredients
These sound AMAZING!
Those look rich and delicious – the perfect kind of shake!
Thanks, Kristen! I may have had two of them already. I’m so weak.
Wow!! This sounds like a crazy good shake! And I love that it’s “health food”… that means I can drink this for breakfast tomorrow morning, right??
This is so unique and I need one. Soon!
Looks delicious! I would so guzzle that all in 5 minutes flat!
WHOA is the only word to describe this milkshake! It sounds like a dream in a cup. I would have never thought to mix all these things together – can’t wait to let some bananas ripen so that I can give this a try!
Hmmmmm…..Yum! I agree, cake batter and brownie batter are my most favorite:-) This shake looks delicious! I am weird, I like bananas with spots, the bananas taste better:-) Hugs, Terra
I gotta make this. Like now. Like asap. This is brilliant.
This shake has my name written all over it my friend – a great addition to this week of goodness!
Cheers
