Ingredients
Scale
- 1 white cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 3.4 oz (96 g) instant white chocolate pudding mix
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup – ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsps + 1 tsp milk
- 1–2 tbsps rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preparation: Thoroughly spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray, ensuring complete coverage of all interior surfaces.
- Mixing: Combine cake mix, pudding powder, sour cream, eggs, cooking oil, and milk in a large mixing bowl, blending with an electric mixer. Start at low speed for 1 minute, then increase to medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Sprinkle Integration: Gently fold rainbow sprinkles into the batter using a silicone spatula, maintaining an even distribution without deflating the mixture.
- Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Place in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for 55-60 minutes, testing for doneness with a wooden skewer that should come out clean.
- Cooling: Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate and let cool completely to room temperature.
- Glazing: Whisk powdered sugar and milk together to create a smooth, pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing an elegant cascade down the sides.
- Finishing: While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles across the top for a festive and colorful presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Sprinkle Sinking: Lightly dust sprinkles with flour before folding into batter to keep them evenly distributed throughout the cake.
- Ensure Perfect Moisture: Adding pudding mix and sour cream guarantees an exceptionally tender, soft cake texture that stays moist for days.
- Avoid Overbaking: Check cake doneness at 50-55 minutes, as bundt cakes can quickly dry out if left too long in the oven.
- Glaze Consistency Tip: Adjust powdered sugar and milk proportions gradually to achieve the perfect drip-worthy glaze that’s neither too thick nor too thin.
