How to Make Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes – Colorful Birthday Party Treats

Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini bundt pans well so none of those precious cakes stick—this ensures your colorful creations come out looking flawless.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step isn’t just about mixing; it builds the perfect texture for your cakes, making them wonderfully soft.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract. This combination dramatically boosts the flavors and adds depth to your mini bundt cakes.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. This ensures your leavening agent is evenly distributed, meaning your cakes will rise beautifully and bake evenly.

Step 5: Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, combining gently until smooth. Overmixing can toughen your cakes, so be delicate here to keep them tender and light.

Step 6: Fold in the Rainbow Sprinkles

Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. These little bursts of color give the cakes their joyful personality and a delightful crunch with every bite, so be generous and careful not to overmix.

Step 7: Fill the Bundt Pans

Pour the batter evenly into your greased mini bundt pans, filling each about three-quarters full. This allows room for the cakes to rise without spilling over.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures your Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes – Colorful Birthday Party Treats are baked just right—not too dry, not underdone.

Step 9: Cool and Frost

Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Finish off by frosting with vanilla icing and sprinkling extra funfetti on top to amplify that festive vibe.

How to Serve Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes – Colorful Birthday Party Treats

Do I have to use mini bundt pans, or can I use a regular cake pan?
