- Whisk together the dry ingredients.

- Divide the batter between two pans and bake.

How long does it keep?
This funfetti cake will keep well for up to 4 days, stored in an airtight container in the fridge. After this time, it will still be good to eat, but it will start to dry out a little.
Can you freeze it?
You can freeze this cake either frosted or unfrosted, though I find it easier before frosting.
Wrap the cakes in plastic wrap and foil and place into a freezer bag or container. They will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw the cakes at room temperature before frosting and decorating.
If freezing a frosted cake, allow it to defrost in the fridge overnight.
Recipe Variations
It’s super east to make this cake from scratch, but you can use boxed cake mix if you prefer. You can easily mix up the colors for the frosting to suit specific occasions too.
Tips!
- Make sure that your butter is at room temperature before using it so that it’s easily combined with the other ingredients.
- Don’t over mix the cake batter. The flour should be just combined. Over working it can cause the gluten to over develop.
- Make sure that the cakes are fully cooled before frosting them. I often make the cake the night before and then frost the next morning.
This is such a fun cake for Valentine’s Day desserts, birthday celebrations, kids parties, or any occasion that needs some fun!
This funfetti cake recipe is the perfect centerpiece for any celebration. Simpler to make than you think, you are sure to brighten someone’s day with this creation!
