  • White or yellow cake mix - I do not recommend using a funfetti cake mix as the sprinkles flavor often seems off.
  • Instant vanilla pudding mix - make sure you get instant pudding.
  • Evaporated milk makes this extra rich, though you can certainly use whole milk.
  • pure vanilla extract
  • rainbow sprinkles jimmies

Equipment

  • bundt cake pan 10 cup

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounce white cake mix
  • 3.4 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles jimmies, not nonpareils
  • For the Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan. I use nonstick cooking spray and then thoroughly flour all the little nooks and crannies.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time. Beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a spatula, being careful not to overmix (this helps prevent color bleeding).
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a thick but pipeable consistency.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag with a large round tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped). Pipe thick ribbons of frosting from the top of the cake down the sides to mimic the signature nothing bundt cake look.
  • Slice and enjoy your soft, moist confetti cake—just like the famous bakery version!

Notes

Storage - Store in the refrigerator and remove it about an hour prior to serving. 
Freeze - Wrap pieces individually in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature for two hours before enjoying.

    Creative variations to try

    You can jazz up the cake by stirring in white chocolate chips (about ½ cup) for a creamy surprise in every bite!

    If you prefer the cake batter to be white, rather than yellow seperate the eggs and use only the egg whites. Save the yolks for another recipe.

    Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)

    What flavor is confetti bundt cake?

    Confetti bundt cake is a delightful vanilla-flavored cake with fun bursts of colorful sprinkles scattered throughout the batter.

    How are nothing bundt cakes so moist?

    The secret to this simple dessert is the addition of sour cream. It adds moisture and fat to the batter, resulting in a soft and moist cake.

    Is Confetti and Funfetti the same thing?

    Yes, they are essentially the same! Both terms refer to cakes or desserts that include colorful sprinkles in the batter, creating a festive and cheerful look when baked. "Funfetti" is often a trademarked name, while "confetti" is a more general term.

    Deb’s top tips

    This cake is best made at least a day ahead. This allows the moisture to develop fully, giving you a soft and fluffy cake! So, I highly recommend making it 24 hours in advance.

    • Overmixing can make your cake dense instead of light and fluffy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
    • Use a non-stick spray that contains flour or grease and flour your pan to ensure the cake slides out easily after baking.
