Featuring a moist vanilla cake studded with colorful sprinkles and topped with fluffy homemade whipped cream frosting, it’s easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and baked in just under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 28 grams (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60 grams (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles, plus more for topping

Frosting

  • 56 grams (1/4 cup) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and vegetable oil using a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Egg White and Vanilla: Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Continue mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk to the bowl. Mix on low speed until the ingredients are almost combined to avoid over-mixing which can make the cake dense.
  5. Add Sprinkles: Fold in the sprinkles gently just until combined, taking care not to over mix to maintain the colorful bursts in the batter.
  6. Prepare Ramekin and Pour Batter: Lightly spray a 9.5 oz (or two 4 oz) ramekin with cooking spray. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared ramekin.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and cool for 10-15 minutes on a cooling rack. Then, gently run a knife around the edge, top cake with a cooling rack, invert, and release the cake. Allow it to cool completely before frosting.
  9. Make Whipped Cream Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream and sugar. Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft to medium peaks form.
  10. Frost and Decorate: Spread the whipped cream frosting evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle additional sprinkles on top for decoration.
  11. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful single-serving funfetti cake!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to avoid a dense texture.
  • Use fresh sprinkles for the best color and texture as older sprinkles may bleed color into the batter.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
  • For an extra touch, you can chill the cake slightly before serving to set the frosting.
