Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix plus ingredients listed on the back of the box
  • 1 ADDITIONAL egg to make it taste like it's made from scratch, optional
  • 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles plus more for decorating
  • 16 oz chocolate frosting I had two 10 oz jars in the video

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Pour the cake mix into a medium sized bowl, then whisk out the lumps.
  • Next add in the ingredients listed on the back of the cake box.
  • Mix the cake batter until it's smooth & lump free, then add in the sprinkles.
  • Fold the sprinkles into the batter.
  • Lightly oil & flour two 8 inch cake pans and pour in half of the batter to make two layers (OR you can make a sheet cake).
  • Bake the cakes for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool.
  • Once the cakes are cool, frost them and sprinkle in the rainbow sprinkles.
  • Let the cakes sit for at least 20 minutes, then add the candles.
  • Enjoy!
