Mini Funfetti Sprinkles 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.

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.

Ingredients

  • for the cake:
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup funfetti cake mix
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • sprinkles & tons of them!
  • for the frosting:
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • non-pareils

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 345 F.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine all cupcake ingredients & mix until smooth. Pour into sprayed mini springform pans until ¾ way full.
  • Bake 24 minutes or until toothpick is inserted & comes out clean. Remove sides of pan (keep bottom on) & let cool completely.
  • In medium mixing bowl, combine all frosting ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • Once cakes have cooled, cover entirely in frosting using offset spatula. *Don't worry about it looking too pretty, the sprinkles will cover it entirely!
  • Place parchment paper on top of cake. Pour sprinkles in parchment paper lined baking tray. Holding one hand on top of the parchment paper & the other flat on the bottom of the springform pan, roll the sides of the cake in the sprinkles. Place it down on springform pan side & pat sides to even out.
  • Spoon remaining sprinkles on top of cake to cover completely. Serve & enjoy!
