Half Boxed Birthday Cake

Sophia Inza
If you always have way too much birthday cake leftover- make this small batch recipe! It's just half of a boxed cake so perfect for two!

Ingredients
  

  • Half of one box yellow cake mix check post for tips on how to measure this
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 butter melted
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles + extra for topping
  • 1 tub frosting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Spray a 6 inch cake pan with non stick cooking spray and line the bottom with a greased piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, egg, butter and milk. Mix for 2 minutes until very well combined.
  • Add in the sprinkles and mix gently until spread throughout. 
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, let it sit in the pan for 10-15 minutes then invert onto a wire rack to fully cool.
  • If you want a one later cake, simply frost, decorate and enjoy!
  • If you want a two later cake, slice the cake in half using a Serrated knife. Add an even layer of frosting to one half and top with the other piece of cake. Now frost the whole cake and add sprinkles.
