Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Vegetable Oil – Using both butter and oil gives this cake it’s melt-in-your-mouth texture and flavor! 
  • Sugar – White granulated sugar.
  • Powdered Sugar – Also known as confectioner’s sugar, this ingredient gives it the texture and consistency you’ll love!
  • Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract (not imitation) for the best flavor.
  • Eggs – Bring the eggs to room temperature for best results. I
  • Flour – Unbleached all-purpose flour is all you need. 
  • Salt
  • Cream of Tartar
  • Baking Soda – This helps to give this homemade funfetti cookie cake a bit of extra lift.
  • Sprinkles – Be sure to get regular sprinkles, nonpareils sprinkles (the round ball like ones) will bleed into the batter!

Tips

  • Don’t over-mix! That’s how you achieve the out of this world texture and thickness!
  • For a fully baked cookie cake, avoid pressing dough all the way to edges. Dough will spread. This will ensure a smooth, even rise without leaving the center under baked or edges over baked.
  • Baking time will vary depending on the pan you use. Reduce baking time for thinner cookie cakes checking in at 15 minutes and increase for thicker cakes if you want them more done.
  • When adding dough into the pan, careful to not overfill and factor in 1/3 of dish for the cake to rise.
  • Try my super easy buttercream recipe if you’d like to frost your cake.
  • Forgot to take out your butter? To soften butter directly from the refrigerator, place the butter unwrapped in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
