Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Funfetti cake mix– A 15.25 ounce box
- Butter– Melted
- Water
- Eggs– Bring them to room temperature first
- Vanilla– Real is best
- Cream cheese– Room temperature
- Sugar– Powdered
- Sprinkles– Rainbow sprinkles
- Whipped topping– The kind you find in the freezer section like Cool Whip
- Pudding mix– A 1.5 ounce box of vanilla instant pudding
How to Make
Making this Funfetti layered dessert is easy!
Just beat the cake mix, melted butter, water, eggs, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl until completely mixed, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the cake batter to a 9×13 baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray and bake it at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle returns clean.
Take the baked cake out of the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cake is cool, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and stir in ¼ cup sprinkles.
Then, fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the cake.
Next, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Spread the pudding over the top of the cream cheese layer.
Add a final layer with the remaining whipped topping and decorate with the remaining sprinkles.
Refrigerate for 2 hours prior to serving.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Storing
Store this tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
