Melted Ice Cream Bundt Cake is an easy-mix Bundt cake, with pound cake texture and all the magical fun of cotton candy, unicorns and whimsy.
Melted Ice Cream Bundt Cake

Melted Ice Cream Bundt cake is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Bundt Bakers. We group up monthly to post recipes for Bundt cakes or things made in a Bundt pan.
We take turns deciding themes and this month was my turn.
I decided on melted ice cream Bundts since it is hot as all get out in August and no ice cream stays frozen. So why not make it into a cake?
This cake comes together easily with very few ingredients. I wanted mine to be mix based since it is simple and something kids might like to help make.
With that in mind, I chose a whimsical ice cream and decor, to give it that Unicorn feel that all kids love.
The texture of the cake is a little heavier with the ice cream, similar to pound cake. It won’t be light like Angel food (even though it has lots of egg whites).
The flavor keeps the cotton candy flavor, although probably not as strong as the ice cream base. But cotton candy is a very difficult flavor to achieve in any other way. If you do like more, serve the cake itself with a scoop alongside.

Melted Ice Cream Bundt Cake
Equipment
- nonstick Bundt pan
Ingredients
- 1 pint ice cream, melted (Graeter's cotton candy flavor ) (has blue color)
- milk (top up whisked ice cream to 2 cups)
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 15.25 ounce box Pillsbury white cake mix
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pastel cookies sprinkles
- 15 ounce tub vanilla frosting
- food coloring
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Spray a standard 10-12 cup nonstick Bundt pan with Baker's release spray.
- Whisk melted ice cream and measure; top up with milk to equal 2 cups.
- Mix ice cream/milk with egg whites, then mix with cake mix until smooth. If not satisfied with the color, you could try amending with food color. Mine was blue which turned out slightly more greenish blue once baked (as you can see).
- Fold in sprinkles for a confetti look.
- Place batter in the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
- Cool in pan 15 minutes then turn out and finish cooling on a wire rack.
- Divide frosting into 2 stainproof bowls (glass or stainless).
- Add one to two drops of food color in each along with just enough milk to make a drizzling consistency. I used Neon food colors (McCormick?)- that's purple and blue.
- Sprinkle with additional pastel sprinkles for decor.
- Let the icing set up 30-45 minutes to dry before packing it away in an airtight cake keeper.
