Instructions

Crumble Topping

  • Add the flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and sprinkles to a medium bowl. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix thoropughly with a fork to form a thick and clumpy crumble. Place bowl in the refrigerator while making the cake batter.

Funfetti Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, making sure that you create a parchment paper sling that hangs over the sides of the pan for easy removal after baking.
  • In a small bowl, add flour, baking soda, sprinkles and salt. Mix with a fork to combine and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and the granulated sugar. Mix on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes in a stand mixer, and at least 6 with a hand mixer, mixture should be light and fluffy.
  • Add in both eggs and vanilla, scraping down the stand mixer paddle and the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated evenly.
  • Next, add in the sour cream and mix again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in the flour, baking soda, sprinkles and salt until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  • Sprinkle the crumble on top of the batter in an even layer.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool for at least an hour.

Vanilla Drizzle

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix with a spoon to form a thick icing. It should be smooth and slowly falls from the spoon. Drizzle on top of cooled cake and top with more sprinkles before slicing.
