Viral Dot Cake
Funfetti sheet cake cut into rounds with paper cups, frosted level and dipped face down in rainbow hundreds and thousands.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 box vanilla cake mix about 15.25 oz / 432 g
- eggs, oil and water as called for on the box
For the Frosting
- 2 tubs vanilla frosting or 1 batch homemade buttercream
For Decorating
- 1-2 cups rainbow sprinkles hundreds and thousands
- 4-8 small paper dessert cups
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the vanilla cake in a rectangular baking pan according to the package directions.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Turn small cardboard dessert cups upside down and press them firmly into the cake to cut evenly spaced rounds. Depending on the size of your pan and cups, you may fit 4 to 8.
- Lift each cup out with its round of cake inside, then press the cake down slightly to create a deeper well at the top.
- Spoon vanilla frosting into each cup until the well is completely filled.
- Spread and smooth the frosting until it is flat and level with the rim of the cup.
- Pour the rainbow sprinkles (hundreds and thousands) into a large shallow bowl or tray.
- Carefully turn each cup upside down onto the sprinkles so the frosted side faces down.
- Gently press to coat the entire surface.
- Lift the cups away from the sprinkles, turn upright and place on a serving board. Serve straight away.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. A standard cake mix gives about 12 to 16 servings, or roughly 4 to 8 cake cups depending on the size of your pan and cups; each cup is generous enough to share. Eat straight away: the sprinkle colours start to bleed into the frosting after a few hours. Freezing is not recommended. A round cookie cutter, biscuit cutter or the open end of a large piping tip can replace the paper cups.
