2-3tablespoonsmilk(as needed for desired consistency)
Additional rainbow sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Mix well until smooth and combined.
Add the Greek yogurt to the sugar mixture and mix until incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much milk, as it may make the frosting too runny.
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the bundt cake using a spatula or knife.
Sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles over the frosting for a festive touch.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious homemade Funfetti Birthday Bundt Cake!
Notes
Flour: It's important to properly measure the flour for accurate results. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife, rather than scooping directly from the bag.Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds moisture and tanginess to the cake. You can use either full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt based on your preference. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can substitute an equal amount of sour cream.Rainbow Sprinkles: Use jimmies or nonpareil sprinkles for this recipe. Avoid using sanding sugar or large decorative sugar crystals, as they can melt and bleed into the cake batter.Mixing the Batter: Be careful not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.Bundt Pan Preparation: Make sure to thoroughly grease and flour the bundt cake pan to ensure easy removal of the cake after baking. You can also use baking spray with flour for added convenience.Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps the cake set and prevents it from breaking apart. Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting.Cream Cheese Frosting: Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easy blending. To achieve a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the cream cheese until no lumps remain before adding the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.Frosting Consistency: Adjust the amount of milk added to the frosting based on your desired consistency. Add more milk for a thinner frosting or less for a thicker consistency.Decorating: Feel free to get creative with the cake's presentation. You can add additional sprinkles or decorate with edible flowers or personalized birthday messages.Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving to restore its moisture and texture.Enjoy creating this delightful Funfetti Birthday Bundt Cake with No-Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, and have a fantastic celebration!
