Vanilla Chex Sprinkle Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Grease 9-inch springform pan with butter; set aside.
• In 4-quart Dutch oven, melt 10 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add marshmallows; cook and stir until melted. Pour cereal over marshmallow mixture; stir together with large wooden spoon until all cereal is coated with marshmallow. Quickly press cereal mixture in pan with well-buttered hands. Use sheet of waxed or cooking parchment paper on top of cereal mixture to pack it down into the pan. Refrigerate cake until well chilled and set, about 2 hours.
• Place rainbow mix decors in large baking pan with sides. Remove springform side from pan; slide large off-set spatula under cake to loosen from base. Spread 1/2 container frosting on side of cake to cover completely. Roll edge of cake in decors until completely covered. Transfer cake to cake stand or serving platter.
• Frost top of cake with 1/2 container of frosting. Press decors onto top of cake with hands. If desired, brush excess decors into pan using small pastry brush.
• Transfer remaining 1/2 container frosting to decorating bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe stars along top edge of cake. Place 1 chocolate candy in center of each piped star. If birthday candles are being used, pipe more frosting onto center of cake; stand candles upright in frosting. Let cake come to room temperature before cutting into slices with large chef's knife. Store loosely covered with plastic wrap.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250°F. In large bowl, place cereal; set aside.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave white chips and butter uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 30-second increments until chips and butter are softened and can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla.
• Drizzle mixture over cereal; toss until well coated. Sprinkle dry cake mix, powdered sugar and sprinkles over cereal; toss until well coated. Spread in single layer in 15x10-inch pan or large cookie sheet.
• Bake uncovered 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Cool about 15 minutes. Store tightly covered at room temperature.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottoms of three 8-inch cake pans with butter and line with parchment or line two 12-cup cupcake tins with liners and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg whites, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the oil and the extracts.
• With the mixer running on low, add the dry mixture and the milk in 2 or 3 alternating batches and mix until just barely combined. Gently fold in the sprinkles using a rubber spatula until they're evenly distributed. Distribute the batter among the cake or cupcake pans, spreading it out evenly if using cake pans, and bake until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness at 25 minutes for cakes and 20 minutes for cupcakes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the frosting: Beat the butter until smooth with the whisk attachment and gradually add the confectioners' sugar until creamed. Add the milk, extracts and salt and beat to combine. Decorate as desired and enjoy.
