Mini Confetti Cake
Confetti Cakes are where coloured sprinkles are mixed into the batter of a vanilla cake. This recipe is for a 6-inch cake tin. Meaning it's a mini cake but oh so cute!
- 57 g butter at room temperature
- 60 g sugar
- 85 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
- 100 ml milk
- 2.5 tbsp coloured sprinkles
Line the bottom of the cake tin using baking paper and pre-heat oven to 175C.
Cream butter and sugar using an electic mixer until well combined.
Add in egg white and vanilla essence and mix. Add in flour + baking powder + salt. Mix for a short while only till well combined. Then add in milk. Be careful not to overmix.
Add your sprinkles into the batter and use a spatula to mix. Pour batter into the cake tin. Smooth out batter and add more sprinkles on top if you wish.
Bake for 30 mins. As every oven is different, do check if your cake is cooked by inserting a cake tester or toothpick to see if it comes out clean. If yes, remove cake from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
Top Tips:
- Bring butter to room temperature before starting.
- Don't overmix batter.
- Add more sprinkles - do get crazy if you wish.
- Let cool completely, then slice.
Six-inch cakes are great for beginner bakers too as a way to learn, as you start small.
