If you love cake and ice cream then this chocolate cake shake recipe is perfect for you! One of the yummiest milkshake recipes I’ve ever made!

If you love cake and ice cream then this chocolate cake shake recipe is perfect for you! One of the yummiest milkshake recipes I've ever made!

A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to go visit one of my old college roommates in Chicago. Before my trip I asked one of my good friends from girls camp who is from Chicago for recommendations on things to do and places to eat.

She gave us plenty of different options for real food but as soon as she mentioned that Portillo’s served a chocolate cake milkshake, I knew we would be eating there. Cake + ice cream mixed up together into a cup full of milkshakey goodness? Yep, it was pretty much as good as I could have imagined. And I knew as soon as I tried it that I had to try making one at home to see if it was as yummy at home.

It was.

I love eating ice cream with my chocolate cake, so it only makes sense that I love the cake mixed into the ice cream. And if you’re an ice cream + cake lover, you’re gonna love this milkshake too. And you guys, it is the easiest thing ever.

You literally make a milkshake with your favorite kind of Blue Bunny ice cream and then you stir in a piece of chocolate cake. I didn’t even make my own chocolate cake, I just picked up a cake at Walmart when I was buying my Blue Bunny Ice Cream for the shakes. So easy and so delicious.

And if you’re worried that the cake is going to get all soggy, well, it does. But it’s that delicious eat a spoonful of ice cream with your cake kind of soggy, not the gross cereal that sat in milk too long soggy. So toss those worries aside and just try it.If you love cake and ice cream then this chocolate cake shake recipe is perfect for you! One of the yummiest milkshake recipes I've ever made!

    Alright so I just wrote a blog post (to go live actually in a week or so) talking about the NEED to find the best chocolate milkshake around. You sayin’ I need to go to Chicago? Dang, and I was there stuck on a lay-over for 8+ hours not too long ago. Portillo’s, I need to remember that. Then again, I can probably do what you did, and make a delicious recreation using that ice cream. Hashtag OMGYUM.

    That milk shake is mouth watering! It’s so rich and it looks so delicious. I love to eat ice cream with chocolate, too and putting them together in a drink is heaven. I need to try this.

    I lived in the Chicago area for about 12 years and I only went to Portillos once. I hit the drive thru for a quick hot dog and never seen these on the menu. I would have tried them for sure, so glad these can be made at home, my daughter and husband will love this!

    Talk about decadent. Cake and ice cream are so perfect together and I love when it gets all soggy on the plate, so this milkshake kind of makes perfect sense. #client

    I am not a huge fan of milk shakes. But my husband and kids loves them. The would devour these shakes. They looks really good. I on the other hand would just love a slice of that yummy chocolate cake. LOL

    What a genius idea! At first I wondered how you would get that cake flavor, but it’s because a piece of real cake is added. My sweet tooth has been out of control lately, this recipe would definitely satisfy my cravings!

    My teenagers would love making these cake shakes. They’re not only look fun and inviting but delicious and yummy as well. I love the simple three ingredients. This works for any mother living on a budget.
