Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cake bites
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Additional sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer to blend ingredients on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of rainbow sprinkles into the cake batter, stirring carefully to distribute evenly without overmixing.
- Pour the confetti cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is lightly golden.
- Remove cake from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 1 hour.
- Once cooled, use a small round cookie cutter or knife to cut the cake into bite-sized circular pieces.
- Melt white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip each cake bite partially or fully into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle additional decorative sprinkles over the chocolate-coated cake bites before the chocolate sets.
- Place cake bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow chocolate coating to harden completely.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter mixing and even cake texture.
- Don't overmix the batter – this can lead to tough, dense cake bites.
- For extra vibrant sprinkles, use gel food coloring in your cake mix if desired.
- Chill the cake before cutting to get cleaner, more precise bite-sized pieces.
- Use a high-quality white chocolate for a smoother, more luxurious coating.
- Work quickly when adding sprinkles to the chocolate-dipped cake bites to ensure they stick.
- For a professional look, use a dipping fork or chocolate-dipping tools when coating the cake bites.
- Experiment with different sprinkle colors and types to match various themes or seasons.
