Vanilla Funfetti Bundt Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sprinkles of any kind
For the Vanilla Frosting/Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional sprinkles for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. - Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. - Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. - Add Sprinkles:
Gently fold in the sprinkles, being careful not to overmix as this can cause the colors to bleed. - Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 40–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting/Glaze:
In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Decorate the Cake:
Drizzle the frosting over the cooled cake, letting it cascade down the sides. Immediately sprinkle additional sprinkles over the frosting before it sets.
Decorating Ideas
