Are you ready for an easy and delicious treat? My vegan funfetti cake is for all occasions. Requested by my daughter after seeing the super market boxed cakes, I created my own amazing homemade recipe that is just as easy as the box mix. A perfect cake that will delight everyone!

 

As an avid baker and seasoned vegan baker, I do not do box mixes. Making cakes is always fun and usually easy, just like my vegan funfetti cake recipe! Yet its impossible to avoid the allure of those tasty looking box cakes. Without a doubt, if I go down the baking aisle at the super market with my daughter, she wants a funfetti cake mix. Funfetti is just a sprinkled cake and so after our last trip to the story I created my own! That is where this easy and delicious vegan funfetti cake came from.

I began with a simple vegan vanilla cake recipe and then transformed it into funfetti! This is an easy recipe because all I did to make it a funfetti cake was add sprinkles. It’s why buying the box mix is so silly. You can do vanilla like mine, or make a funfetti white cake, funfetti pound cake, or even chocolate. My recipe was adapted from this recipe which was an excellent starting place. There are no tricks except when it comes to the frosting. Making a vegan frosting feels a bit daunting because its tricky to get the proportions just right. For this recipe I use half butter and half coconut oil (in the solid form). This creates a nice balance, texture, and taste for your frosting. If you do not like the coconut taste, then use all butter, but make sure its at room temperature.

I’m proud to say that I mastered the frosting with this recipe. Next time I’ll definitely add a bit more to the middle layer of my cake. A big worry of mine is always to make sure I have enough frosting for the whole cake. This recipe makes plenty of frosting, so you don’t have to worry. Be free when doing the middle of your cake. You can even add jelly or jam to the center of this cake for something truly unique. I might even play with a different color frosting, or make a chocolate peanut butter frosting. Share with me your photos of the cake you make!
