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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to distribute the leavening agent evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to disperse them throughout the batter without causing the colors to bleed.
  7. Prepare Pans and Fill: Grease mini bundt cake pans thoroughly, then pour the batter evenly into the pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
