Sprinkle Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The 'Funfetti' or Sprinkle cake is the edible definition of joy. The secret lies in the special sweets mixed into the batter. During baking, these colourful dots don't melt completely but create tiny, cheerful paint spots in the white sponge. This cake brings the nostalgia of childhood birthdays in a modern, buttery guise.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and flour the tin.

Tip: Thorough preparation is half the battle.
2 ✓

Cream butter with sugar until fluffy, add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour and baking powder alternately with milk.

Tip: The classic creamed sponge base relies on thorough aeration of butter and sugar.
3 ✓

At the very end, using a spatula, very gently fold the sprinkles into the batter.

Tip: Just a few movements! If mixed too much, sugar starts dissolving from dough moisture, turning the batter a 'dirty' grey from mixing colours.
4 ✓

Pour into tin and bake for approx. 30 mins (skewer test). Cool completely.

Tip: If cut or frosted warm, it falls apart.
5 ✓

Coat cake with cream, and press remaining sprinkles onto sides or top.

Tip: Decoration sticks well to fresh cream.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the colours run in the dough?
You probably didn't use bake-stable sprinkles, or you overmixed the batter. Use 'jimmies' (sugar strands), not spherical ones, as they melt faster.
