How to Make a Funfetti Cake

My suggestion would be to mix the sprinkles in with the dry mix before you add any of the wet ingredients. I just made my own funfetti cake for my husbands bday and I thought the sprinkles sunk to the bottom. If they are dusted with flour or the cake mix then that should prevent them from sinking! And have your son help! I sure he'd enjoy it and it would definitly give it that homemade look! Good luck!

I've used the box and frosting mixes for this, and it was fine. Don't see why you can't add whatever you want to angel food cake mix, though.

That's how the box mix of funfetti I tried did it. :)

angel food cake is very difficult and unusual to make, so do it ahead of time to be sure.

I used the Betty Crocker cake mix and frosting -I suppose you can bake it in an angel food cake tin.

Go ahead and add the sprinkles!! All will be ok!

I make funfetti cakes for all the seasons by using the holiday sprinkles.. .expirament away!

I do suggest folding them in with a spoon after the batter has been mixed so that you don't chop the sprinkles up too much!

The easiest thing would be to just buy the funfetti cake mix at the store (Pilsbury makes it)and save the angel food for another day!

When I tried it before with a yellow cake and regular sprinkles the color came off all of the sprinkles. I think maybe they do something a little bit different to the sprinkes that come with the cake mix.

What you could do though, instead of mixing them all in the cake mix, like I did, put some mix in the pan and add some sprinkles, then add a little more mix and sprinkles, and so on. That way you won't be mixing it al up and the color should stick better.

Good luck!

It will work --they'll dissolve really quickly, so you have to put them in right last and only stir very gently and quickly before baking.
