Confetti Cake
eggs, vanilla extract

Confetti cake is a type of cake that has rainbow colored sprinkles baked into the batter. It is called confetti cake because when baked, the rainbow sprinkles melt into dots of bright color that resemble confetti.[1] Typically the batter is either white, golden, or yellow to allow for a better visual effect; but chocolate, devil’s food, and strawberry cake variations also exist. The cake generally consists of flour, butter, baking powder, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and rainbow colored sprinkles. The cake normally has a frosting made of butter, salt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.[2]

Origin

Confetti cakes date at least back to the 1950s; a 1956

Dunk-a-roos.[4][1] Although the cake is generally served with a plain frosting, Pillsbury also offers "Funfetti" frosting, with rainbow sprinkles added.[5] Pillsbury owns the trademark to "Funfetti" so the cake is generally called confetti cake, or can also be referred to as a sprinkle cake.[6]

Modern

Confetti cake has inspired many interpretations such as confetti cookies, cereal bars, and even croissants.[7][1] The idea of making something into a "confetti" treat is produced by adding rainbow colored sprinkles into the creation. Confetti cakes are also called funfetti cakes.
