Mini Funfetti Sprinkles Cake Recipe

Sprinkle Covered Cake Recipe

Some nights you just need to crawl into bed early with a glass of wine in one hand & some cake in the other. If you must know, yes, by some nights I mean every night. So in order to hide all evidence of this in the morning, I’ve created the perfect mini cake recipe for you. It’s delicious, portioned for one person, & most importantly it’s covered in sprinkles. Using the recipe from our Copycat Molly’s Cupcake Recipe, I poured the batter into mini springform pans, slathered on a bunch of frosting, & topped it with those sprinkles I keep drooling talking about.

Mini Cake For One Recipe

The frosting recipe is beyond basic & truthfully tastes like something you’d get at a legit bakery. I’d say it would wow your friends but let’s be real, you’re not sharing any of this cake.

    Can this recipe be made in one spring form pan? Looks adorable! Would definitely like to bake for a FUN-filled game night that we’ll be attending! 🙂

      Hi Angelica! You can definitely make it as one large cake! Make sure your large springform won’t leak the batter through however. Also, it may be a bit more difficult to cover in sprinkles if it’s much larger but definitely still possible 🙂 enjoy! xo
