The Confetti Cake of Your Dreams

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

Thank you so much for a recipe that actually has three 8 inch layers! Love all your recipes!!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying everything 🥰

[@sharonhidalgo7296]

I am making this cake for my son’s 40th it’s a family gathering! Still need to frost the cake but it looks great! I always refer to your recipes for great food! ❤🎉 Thank you!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re welcome! Happy birthday to your son! I’m so glad to hear you enjoy everything so much. 😊

[@sharonhidalgo7296]

@ I did make this cake for my son’s birthday! It was a hit. Someone asked where I bought it from! I will be making this again for sure!!

[@Eliz0214]

Finally a recipe that does not use buttermilk. Will be trying this for my daughter’s birthday tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.

[@SugarSpunRun]

You're welcome! Enjoy and happy belated birthday to your daughter! :)

[@Eliz0214]

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! So I did, and it came out perfect. My daughter loved it, so did her sisters (I have four girls). Twas a small 3-tier cake and it was gone before I knew it. :)

[@Verttexx]

just so you know you can quite easily make a buttermilk substitute with milk and vinegar!

[@Eliz0214]

@@Verttexx Thanks! I know, I prefer mine with lemon juice though. What I was trying to say was that I was glad it’s a recipe that doesn’t call for buttermilk. Almost every other recipe on KZbin uses buttermilk. I’ve tried them many times, I just never like the taste.

[@Verttexx]

@@Eliz0214 Oh I see! I can agree on that, it's a bit of a hit or miss flavor for me as well.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! :)

[@DeirdreMebane]

Thanks Sam! I need this recipe for a baby shower cake!

[@bbeth7092]

I had exactly nine eggs yesterday when I decided to make this cake so you can imagine my anxiety while cracking, separating, and beating into stiff peaks😂. All I could think about were those massive amounts of other ingredients that would be wasted if I failed. Happily, this cake turned out beautifully and was delicious! I shared with friends and got good feedback. Thanks for another recipe that will go into my recipe box🎉

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! I definitely know the anxiety you were feeling!

[@PixieLovesItAll]

Omg, what a gorgeous cake! No matter how old I get I will always love confetti cake ☺🌈 I just recently made a batch of confetti cupcakes for a party that was nearly the same, just subbing whole milk greek yogurt for milk (because we don't keep whole milk on hand and I wasn't about to ruin a batch of cupcakes and dry them out with 2% milk 🤣).

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! It’s such a great cake! 😊😊

[@weightlossandhomegrown]

This will be our new birthday cake recipe. I have 6 babies. So we’ll be having plenty of it lol! Always make their cakes from scratch and this just looks perfect! 💜💜.

[@SugarSpunRun]

That's awesome! I hope everyone loves it! :)

[@olamuyiwaojo555]

Thanks for this recipe it's really good

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re welcome!! Enjoy! 😊

[@MzEllaful]

I was recommended this recipe from a reddit post under the best vanilla cake recipes. It's my first time baking a real cake, so I'm a little nervous so as not to mess this up. Cheers 🎉

[@SugarSpunRun]

Good luck! I hope you love it! 😊 let me know how it goes.

[@Deja_B.]

Looks beautiful, how many peope does it serve?

[@SugarSpunRun]

It is a rather large cake, but I say you can safely get 14 slices out of it. :)

[@nasreenrehman6126]

Hi what a fantastic cake defo going to bake this one plz can you tell me what size eggs you used medium or large thank you

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love it! Use large eggs here. 😊

[@qw72897]

This looks great, do you know how many cupcakes it would make? What type of food coloring did you use for the pink frosting? It's so bright!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I would actually recommend using my white cupcake recipe and adding sprinkles to that. The cupcakes tend to shrink in on themselves when using this recipe. For the vibrant colors, I like to use Americolor food gels. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2bQmamBasmqo8Usi=Uk6Gj6xN01_VA1B5

[@sarahboyd9096]

Can you use the batter to make an oreo cake

[@taccosnachos]

Would love to see the hard working chickens behind your recipes 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can follow me @Sugarspun_sam on Instagram and I’ll be sure to have some coming in the next few weeks. 😊

[@stephcake1112]

Would corn oil work for this recipe? It's the only cooking oil my family and I buy.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't tried it, but it should work!

[@miguelandtrin6440]

Really happy i found this. Tomorrow is my friends birthday and he wants confetti cupcakes so i hope they turn out well with this ❤

[@imasocialbutterflful]

Yum! I am so trying this. 😋 Where can I find that frosting recipe?! It looks amazing.

Would you be willing to do a one later reciepe version for this cake please? (I am not good at math so I can't just figure it by "half" ing the reciepe. Lol. Please?

Hello, I would like to be able to transform this cake into a gluten-free cake, is it possible? Thank you for the recipe!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Unfortunately I am not very familiar with using gluten free ingredients so I can't say for sure how it would work. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. :)

You’re welcome!! I hope she loves the cake! 😊😊😊

[@Nine7Three]

Another must try for me. I'll have to figure out the oil situation, though. I don't mess around with them. I'll probably try ghee. How bad can more butter be?

[@hardygirl82]

I think you can replace oil with applesauce in baked goods pretty universally. Might be worth a shot.

[@zookeepersam888]

If you consume avocado oil, od recommend that. Solid fats will cause the cake to be less moist. Olive oil could work too, but will give it definitely impart a olive oil taste

[@SugarSpunRun]

The combination of oil and butter is what makes this cake so moist and flavorful. All butter would yield a dryer cake.

[@chrisnew3324]

I have 9 inch cake tins how much extra on each ingredient would you recommend please

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can use the same recipe. Bake time will be slightly reduced and your cakes will be slightly thinner. :)

[@Osahdjed]

Could I do the reverse creaming method for this cake?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't tried it, but I think it would be doable here. :)

[@abdulahmed-hg9cx]

The cake looks really good and I will try my best to make this. 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love it as much as we do! 💜

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

Another great recipe I will have to try🙃

[@SugarSpunRun]

Enjoy! 😊

[@aumm50]

I have used previous recipes and they came out great! I am going with this recipe for a special day. I'd like to bake ahead of time so the day of I can focus on decorating that being said... will this freeze well if so do I freeze after cooling or while warm? And well it stay moist?

[@SugarSpunRun]

This will freeze well and should remain moist. You will want to let the cakes cool COMPLETELY before freezing. :)

[@carolentringer8836]

Could this be prepared in a 9x13 pan?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I don’t see why not :)

[@dianeferraro5208]

Hi chef 🧑‍🍳 this cake I would like to bake it looks so good BUT it’s to big can we make it smaller ex::only 2 instead of 3 floor thank thank you 🙏 ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can make it two layers. You’ll want to cut the ingredients by 33%. Some of the measurements may be tough to reduce that way so you may just want to discard any excess batter

[@stillwaters7730]

I love your channel but I have to admit I haven't looked at it since the holidays came in real hard due to me going back to work full time. But today is my son's birthday he's turning 12 and I asked him what kind of cake he wanted he said he didn't know he didn't really care😂🎉 I know that means that he likes whatever I'm going to do LOL so I asked him if he wanted a wonderful moist confetti cake totally classic and he said yeah🎉🎉🎉

[@SugarSpunRun]

Happy birthday to your son!! I hope he loves this cake! 😊

[@dalaneyfabian5700]

can I use this same recipe for cupcakes?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes you can! :)

[@Taniaval12]

Thank you for the recipe i just made this cake yesterday it came out great your buttercream ingredients is that a double batch im making my granddaughters birthday cake .

[@SugarSpunRun]

This buttercream uses about 50% more powdered sugar and more heavy cream so similar but the proportions are just slightly larger, but not quite doubled. 😊

[@miriamblanar2030]

My 4 year old daughter says, "I like that cake and I hope you can come over and look at the cake you made and that mommy made and I hope you can come to my party and taste the cake that my mommy makes for my birthday.

[@Lizzy1983.]

Sam, can I use duck eggs? Will the whites beat up like the whites in chicken eggs? I have honestly never tried…

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't tried this either, so I really can't say. I know duck eggs are larger though, so it will be difficult to know how many to use.

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

This is so, so pretty! I love it!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much!

[@yumyum8331]

Hey I forgot to ask, can I use caster sugar instead of granulated? Do both sugars weigh the same?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Caster sugar will work, but I'm not sure on the weights. I believe caster sugar is a bit heavier.

[@emmadickey5602]

Heads up to everyone who loves yolky recipes and doesn't want to discard egg whites or make another recipe right away. Egg whites freeze beautifully. I once saved 10 whites over a few months and the meringue still whipped up well enough for angel food cake. (Might not use them for something finicky like macarons, but ymmv.)

[@SugarSpunRun]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing 💜

[@mariaangelarmstrong719]

Looks good yummy

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you 😋

[@marcianeves9035]

This looks amazing! I need to bake a sprinkle cake for my great neice's 8th birthday party next week. She has a specific design in mind. I need a two layer cake for 35 people. I was going to do two layers each of 6 & 8 inch round pans. I guess I will double this recipe and use the left over batter for cupcakes! Any idea how I would calculate this?

[@SugarSpunRun]

This cake would actually come close to making enough batter for 2 8 inch and 2 6 inch layers. You'd be roughly 1/2 cup of batter short so you may have slightly thinner cakes, but if you don't need the excess cupcakes I would probably just make it as is. :)

[@abigailashby6347]

9 tablespoon of butter is how many grams?

[@SugarSpunRun]

127 😊

[@SabineIkemba]

Did u mix d egg white with anything?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You just whip the egg whites by themselves and then they get folded into the cake batter.

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

A cake of our dreams.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's a classic!

[@sheilakadolph5002]

Hi 👋 I am a new subscriber. The cake looks delicious and I will try the recipe. I have to ask why you do not use your stand mixer for making this? Is there some reason that would not be better?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Happy to have you here! You can absolutely use a stand mixer. I typically just use my electric mixer when making videos because it is easier for anyone watching to see in the bowl and see the texture of the batter etc. But I have made this with my stand mixer many times.

[@evanunez6532]

Do you have a recipe for a smaller size cake?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I do not. It can just be scaled down to suit your needs. :)

Has anyone tried this with Almond extract in place of vanilla?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You could use almond extract but you'll want to use less as it's much more potent. :)

[@arianemariano3807]

I’d rather not have bright white cake… never… never imitation vanilla 😝

Totally fair! The tip is for people who are looking for bright white, but true vanilla works equally well. I often use my homemade vanilla. ☺️

Where's the eggs

[@SugarSpunRun]

You need 9 egg whites here. You can see them being used in the video.

[@salyblack1009]

For the. Size of your cake , it needed much more filling in it . When you showed us the slice it looked all sponge and very little filling

[@SugarSpunRun]

You are welcome to use more frosting between the layers, the recipe makes plenty. Feel free to adjust the amount as you like, I did not want more than shown as I put quite a bit on top for decoration and didn’t want the amount of frosting to be overwhelming ☺️
