Ingredients
Vegan Funfetti Cake
- 1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- ⅓ cup melted vegan butter
- ¾ cup sugar or ⅓ cup purecane sugar-free substitute
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
- ¼ cup vegan rainbow sprinkles
Vegan Vanilla Icing
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon softened vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon softened vegan butter
- 2 oz vegan cream cheee
Instructions
Vegan Funfetti Cake
- Preheat the oven to 375
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond milk, melted butter, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla. Then, mix in the flour. Fold the rainbow sprinkles into the batter - don't over mix so they don't melt. Pour the batter into a 9 inch loaf pan or 8 inch round pan with the batter.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the cake is golden if baking in a loaf form. If baking in a round pan, you will wake to bake the cake for less time. I recommend starting with 30 minutes and adding on more time if needed.
- While the cake is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix together the icing ingredients. Spread it over the loaf while it's warm OR allow the loaf to cool and then spread the icing. Either way... it's delicious! Top with sprinkles and enjoy!

Do you grease the pan before putting the batter in it?
Jillian says
Yes we do!
Apoorva says
Hey Jillian! If I make the cake the night before I need it, will it stay intact in the fridge?
Jillian says
Hi there, I would recommend not refrigerating this cake or any baked goods as it can dry it out! It'll do well stored on the countertop overnight wrapped in plastic.
LaTrice Mays says
Hi Jillian where do you purchase your vegan Funfetti sprinkles
Jillian says
I love sprinkles from fancysprinkles.com!
Tiff says
Can I double to make a 2 layer cake in 9" pans?
Jillian says
Hi Tiff! Absolutely! You can double the recipe if you'd like!
Jess says
Hi! Can I substitute maple syrup for the sugar? Or would you recommend a different recipe for me to try?
Jillian says
Hi Jess, I'd recommend trying my Vegan Cinnamon Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and adding sprinkles to make it "funfetti style". This recipe uses maple syrup instead of sugar! Hope you love it!
Erica says
Hi!
For the melted vegan butter, could I use I Can't Believe it's not butter Light spread instead? Or could I use vegetable oil instead of butter? Can I substitute the milk for Rice Milk?
Nazifa says
You can substitute any butter or oil for this
Nazifa says
And use any milk. I’ve made this multiple different ways
