Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 3/4 cup white sugar

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons spiced rum

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup sprinkles

Directions

Prepare the Funfetti Cake

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a round nine-inch baking pan.

2.

In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3.

In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about two minutes.

4.

Add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, then add the rum. Mix on low until combined.

5.

Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix until combined. You should have a doughy consistency at this point.

6.

Pour in the milk and mix on low. Your cake batter should be the same consistency as a pancake batter. Do not over-mix.

7.

Fold in sprinkles.

8.

Bake for 30 minutes and you’ll know when the cake is ready when you insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.

Tips:

  ● Yes, you can bake with sprinkles. ● If you’re looking to make a dairy-free cake, use margarine instead of butter, or substitute with 1/4 cup of a neutral flavor oil like vegetable or canola. You can also use almond milk or water instead of dairy milk. ● You want to make sure your butter is softened, but not completely softened to a point where it’s almost melted. You should take the butter out of your refrigerator about 30-60 minutes before starting to bake. ● Don’t skip to spoon and level the flour. If you do, then you end up packing in more flour into the cake and you can end up with the wrong consistency – your cake will end up more dense instead of light and fluffy. ● Make sure you do not over-mix the batter. If you do then there’s a good chance you’ll end up with cakey bread instead of a light and airy funfetti cake. ● You may substitute the spiced rum with vanilla extract.
