Description
This vibrant Roblox-inspired cake uses a clever pudding mix hack to achieve a dense, fudge-like texture that stays moist for days. Topped with colorful square sprinkles, it is the perfect treat for gamers and busy bakers who want a high-quality dessert with a playful, blocky aesthetic.
Ingredients
- 1 package (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup blocky confetti sprinkles (divided)
- Buttercream or whipped frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix, dry pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and water.
- Beat the ingredients on medium speed for about 2 minutes, then gently fold in half of the blocky sprinkles by hand.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until the center is set and springs back when touched.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before spreading with frosting and decorating with the remaining sprinkles.
Notes
To ensure the best texture, always add the pudding mix as a dry powder directly to the batter rather than preparing it first. For a clean release, line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the cake out once it has cooled. This cake stays exceptionally moist for several days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
