Ready to make some baking magic? Let’s get started and sprinkle some fun into our day! Here’s what you’re going to need:
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz box of white cake mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sprinkles, divided
- Cream cheese frosting for garnish
These donuts will be good for 3 – 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also freeze them.
If you are planning on freezing some or all of them, then don’t frost the ones you are planning on freezing. They will store up to eight months in the freezer. Add frosting when you decide to eat them.
Of all the advice I can give you, the biggest is DO NOT forget the frosting and extra rainbow sprinkles when you’re done. Because that would be the biggest travesty ever and ruin the party (kidding!).
