Description

Homemade funfetti bundt cake delivers classic birthday party nostalgia with rainbow sprinkle magic. Creamy vanilla batter and colorful confetti make this dessert a celebration centerpiece that delights both children and adults.


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
  • 12 tbsps rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Thoroughly spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray, ensuring complete coverage of all interior surfaces.
  2. 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.
  3. Sprinkle Integration: Gently fold rainbow sprinkles into the batter using a silicone spatula, maintaining an even distribution without deflating the mixture.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Glazing: Whisk powdered sugar and milk together to create a smooth, pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing an elegant cascade down the sides.
  7. 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.
