Funfetti cakes are a popular cake flavor for children’s birthday parties. The yellow cake mixed with sprinkles and topped with vanilla frosting brings back birthday memories for children of all ages. This cake flavor has become popular recently, popping up in cupcake, frosting and ice cream products.
There doesn’t need to be a birthday celebration to enjoy this delicious cake flavor. Sally’s Baking Addiction has a fun recipe for a funfetti treat that can be enjoyed during any time of the year.
Butter and sugar are first creamed together, before adding a whole egg, an egg yolk and vanilla. Flour is next carefully weighed and measured and then added to the remaining dry ingredients: salt, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch. The flour mixture is then carefully stirred into the butter mixture. White chocolate chips and sprinkles are folded into the batter before it’s pressed into a pie dish and baked for 25 to 30 minutes. Slightly under-baking the cookie is key in ensuring that the center stays soft, while the edges don’t crisp too much.
A simple buttercream frosting is then made by combining softened butter, confectioner’s sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and almond extract. Once whipped together, the frosting is then piped onto the edges of the cooled cookie. Sprinkles can be used to decorate treat, before cutting it into wedges and serving.
Funfetti sugar cookie cakes make it possible to re-live childhood birthday memories, without attending a children’s birthday party. Thanks to Sally’s recipe, this fun-filled cookie can be enjoyed at any time.
