  5. Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight).

  2. Prepare cake mix with water, oil, and eggs as directed.
  3. Divide batter evenly between pans.

  2. Carefully place chilled cheesecake on top.
  3. Add second Funfetti cake layer.
  4. Frost entire cake generously with buttercream.
  5. Cover with rainbow sprinkles for that bakery-style finish.

History & Formation

The Funfetti cake was originally introduced by Pillsbury in 1989, quickly becoming a beloved staple at birthday parties for its colorful sprinkles baked right into the batter. Meanwhile, cheesecake has roots tracing back to ancient Greece, later perfected in New York with its dense, creamy style. The idea of a cheesecake cake (cake + cheesecake combo) is a more modern bakery trend, giving dessert lovers “the best of both worlds” in one masterpiece.

This recipe “forms” by layering textures—the lightness of birthday cake with the indulgent creaminess of cheesecake—into a single celebratory tower of joy.


Conclusion

This Funfetti Cheesecake Cake isn’t just dessert; it’s a memory-maker. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or whenever you want to spark joy, it’s easy enough for beginners yet show-stopping enough for a bakery window display. With each slice, you get nostalgia, fun, and indulgence.


For the Lovers ❤️

  • For the cake lover, it’s a fluffy, sprinkle-filled dream.
  • For the cheesecake lover, it’s a creamy, rich surprise at the center.
