🛒 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box Christmas Funfetti cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra lift)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for richer flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup red and green sprinkles (plus extra for topping)

🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

In a large bowl:

  • Combine cake mix, flour, and baking powder.
  • In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 3: Add the Fun

Gently fold in the sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix so the colors don’t bleed too much.

Step 4: Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle extra festive sprinkles on top.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

🍞 Methods & Tips

  • Do not overmix: Keeps the bread light and fluffy.
  • Use buttermilk: Adds a slight tang and extra moisture.
  • Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  • Add white chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
