Another year, another birthday, so I figured why not celebrate by making my favorite childhood birthday cake, the funfetti cake.
Funfetti cake is a simple white vanilla cake that has sprinkles folded into the batter that is then baked and frosted with buttercream. This cake can be baked in cake pans, 13×9 casserole dishes, or even turned into muffins. Funfetti cake seems to be most popular as a birthday cake.
Believe it or not, Pillsbury is the one who came up with the funfetti cake back in the late 1980s. Since then, people have been making homemade versions without all the added ingredients.
