TIPS AND FAQS
If you want to use a liquid egg replacement you can use 2 tablespoons of liquid egg white replacement for every egg white. So, you will need ten tablespoons of liquid egg white replacement all together for your cake.
I prefer to use the long slim sprinkles in my Christmas funfetti cake. The small round ball shaped sprinkles tend to stay hard and not soften. You can find sprinkles at your local grocery store or craft store on the baking aisle. I used these sprinkles found here.
Store your cake for up to five days at room temperature. Make sure to keep your cake tightly covered to prevent it from drying out.
If your bundt pan is known for sticking, instead of using baking spray grease your bundt pan with butter or shortening and then lightly flour the entire inside of the pan before adding your batter.
