Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the mini bundt cakes evenly.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which incorporates air for a tender cake texture.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next to create a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to distribute the leavening agent evenly.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet batter, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter which could toughen the cakes.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to disperse them throughout the batter without causing the colors to bleed.
- Prepare Pans and Fill: Grease mini bundt cake pans thoroughly, then pour the batter evenly into the pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool and Decorate: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, frost with vanilla icing and decorate with extra sprinkles for a festive finish.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh rainbow sprinkles to maintain vibrant colors and avoid bleeding.
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature to facilitate smooth creaming with sugar.
- If mini bundt cake pans are not available, standard muffin tins can be used as an alternative.
- Customize by experimenting with different colored sprinkles to match themes or personal preferences.
- Store leftover cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
