valentine's day Funfetti Cake Pops By Nomnivorous

valentine's day

Emily from Nomnivous made cake pops for Christina's birthday and they are adorable. One of the things I loved is that Emily didn't use a cake mix and in fact crafted her own based on a Cook's Illustrated recipe. She calls her recipe "Nix The Mix" Funfetti Cake.


Nix the Mix Funfetti Cake
[this makes two 9" round cakes or one 9"x13" sheet pan]

• 2 ¼ cups cake flour [9 ounces], plus more for dusting the pans
• 1 cup milk, room temperature
• 6 large egg whites [¾ cup], room temperature
• 2 tsp almond extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste [or extract]
• 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar [12¼ ounces]
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 12 tbsp unsalted butter [1½ sticks], softened but still cool
• ¼-½ cup sprinkles [use long sprinkles, not round for best results]
