Ingredients
Scale
Confetti Cake:
- Renewal Mill Upcycled Vanilla Cake & Cupcake Mix
- ¼ cup + 1 Tbsp (62g) neutral oil
- ¾ cup + 1 Tbsp (184g) water
- 1/3 cup (70g) rainbow jimmies [1]
Confetti Buttercream:
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups (227g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 1 ½ Tbsp (20g) sour cream, room temp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (50g) rainbow jimmies [1]
Instructions
Confetti Cake:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and line the bottom of a 9" round cake pan with a circle of parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, and water. Using a handheld mixer, beat on low for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and beat for another 30 seconds. Fold in rainbow jimmies.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Bake 18–23 minutes. Cake is done when top is lightly golden and edges are set. Also, a wooden pick inserted in the centre will come out clean with only a few fluffy crumbs attached.
- Allow cake to cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan and transferring to a wire rack. Let cake cool completely.
Confetti Buttercream:
- Once cake is cool, let’s make some frosting! In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and salt on medium speed until fluffy and smooth.
- Sift in a third of confectioners’ sugar (76g), then mix on low until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl. Repeat two more times with rest of confectioners’ sugar.
- Mix in sour cream and vanilla, beating until buttercream is your preferred consistency. Fold in rainbow jimmies.
- Place cake on cake stand or serving platter. Spread frosting on top with an offset spatula. Decorate with additional sprinkles because you can never have too many sprinkles!
