| Funfetti Cake with Buttercream Icing #Recipe |
This funfetti cake is a simple eggless vanilla cake embellished with cute and colourful funfetti. I have made it more indulgent by covering it up with buttercream icing. Given that the cake can be quite colourful, it is sure to be a hit with kids.
It has been quite a while since I updated this blog with a cake recipe. It is not that I am not baking these days, it is just that I am not experimenting too much; I am sticking to my tried and tested recipes most of the times.
The cake I am sharing today is a simple vanilla cake adorned with cute little colourful sprinkles. This one got a thumbs up from DH. So, it makes perfect sense to share it here. Initially, I didn't plan to blog about it. So, I didn't take proper pictures of the full cake. But, since it was a hit at home, I decided to blog about it. the slice in the picture was only left, so I made good use of it in clicking the picture.
Without much ado lets check out the recipe for my 'funfetti cake with buttercream icing'.

Slit the cake in half horizontally and place one half on a cake stand. Brush half of the syrup generously. Spread a thin layer of the icing. Cover with the other half and brush with sugar syrup. Spread the rest of the icing over the cake. Decorate the top by sprinkling some more funfetti sprinkles.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
