What You Need

This funfetti bundt cake is perfect for beginners. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, you will have a delicious cake that everyone will love.

Vanilla Cake Mix - Using a white cake mix is just easy and saves a little time. You can also use a funfetti cake mix if you don't want to buy more sprinkles.
Instant Pudding Mix - I love using a white chocolate pudding mix, but a vanilla pudding mix would also be great.
Liquids - Eggs, oil, and milk add moisture to the cake batter.
Sour Cream - It adds more moisture to the cake without thinning the batter. The end result is more like a funfetti pound cake. You can also use plain Greek yogurt.
Sprinkles - The best sprinkles to use in baked goods are jimmies because they won't melt and bleed as much as other ones.
Glaze - Powdered sugar and milk makes an easy glaze that can be drizzled on the finished cake.

How to make a Funfetti Bundt Cake

Not only is this funfetti bundt cake recipe easy to follow, but it's also a lot of fun to make. The bundt cake is sure to please everyone with its colorful sprinkles and sweet flavor.

Prep the pan. Spray the 12 cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. This is important because you do not want the cake to stick later.
Make the cake batter. Add the dry ingredients, eggs, oil, sour cream, and milk to a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until combined.
Add the sprinkles. Gently stir the jimmies into the cake batter.
Bake and cool. Pour the funfetti cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let the funfetti cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip and cool completely.
Decorate and serve. Whisk together the confectioners sugar and milk. Drizzle over the top of the cooled cake and top with more sprinkles before it sets. Cut into slices and enjoy!

Storage Recommendations

Keep the glazed sprinkle cake in a loosely sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days. It can also be refrigerated in an airtight container for 5-6 days.

You can also freeze the whole cake or slices of cake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap then place in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then set out on the counter 30 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips

If you want to give it more of a cake batter flavor, add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract to the batter.
Love chocolate? Reduce the amount of sprinkles and add ½ cup mini chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
There are quite a few different kinds of sprinkles. For best results in baking, you want to use jimmies. These rod-shaped sprinkles hold up well when mixed into dough and when baked into cakes and cookies.
You can change the sprinkle colors for other events and parties. Use blue & pink for baby showers. Red, white, & blue for 4th of July. Red & green for Christmas.
Want to add more white chocolate to the cake? Skip the glaze and drizzle the top with melted white chocolate.
To make this a birthday bundt cake, spread a creamy vanilla frosting on the sides and add candles and sprinkles.
Serve slices of bundt cake with vanilla ice cream or homemade strawberry ice cream.

FAQ'S

Can I use a different pudding mix?

You sure can. If you can't find the white chocolate, go ahead and use an instant vanilla pudding mix. It may give the cake a little more of a yellow color, but it will still be delicious.

What are the best sprinkles for baking?

You want to look for rainbow or chocolate sprinkles. They are also known as jimmies. The longer shaped chocolate or confetti sprinkles hold up well to heat.

How do you get the perfect cake slice?

Use a sharp knife and clean it well after each slice. I like to run the knife under hot running water, then dry it off really good before making any cuts.
