Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box box Funfetti or white cake mix — 15.25 oz
  • 1 box 3.4 oz instant pudding mix (I used cheesecake)
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles optional extra for more color

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cup powdered sugar approximately
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tsp For extra “bakery tang heavy cream or milk if you want it a touch smoother (optional).

Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (important for Bundt cakes).
  • Lightly grease and flour your silicone Bundt pan or spray with Baker’s Joy (nonstick spray with flour).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix and pudding mix.
  • Add eggs, sour cream, milk, oil, and vanilla.
  • Beat with a hand or stand mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and thick.
  • Fold in sprinkles gently at the end so they don’t bleed.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and tap it gently to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top bounces back lightly to the touch.
  • (Silicone pans sometimes bake a little slower — check around 50 minutes.) (My Silicone pan from Aldi I had to increase temp to 340 and cook for an additional 20 minutes)
  • Let it cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then carefully flip onto a cooling rack.
  • Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting Directions

  • In a stand or hand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter together on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until completely smooth and fluffy.
  • Mix in vanilla, Almond and salt.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, beating on low until incorporated, then high for 30 seconds. Stop once it’s thick, creamy, and holds soft peaks.
  • Pipe it signature-style – Transfer to a piping bag (or zip-top bag with the corner snipped). Pipe thick ribbons from the inner hole outward all the way around your cooled Bundt cake.

Tips

  • Frost only when the cake is completely cool — even slightly warm cake will make the frosting slide.
  • For that classic glossy look, chill the frosted cake 15–20 minutes before serving.
  • If you prefer a slightly lighter, fluffier frosting, beat in ¼ cup heavy cream at the end.
