A Funfetti Confetti Cheesecake

 This week’s bake is a Funfetti Birthday Cake Cheesecake from Eloise Head of Fitwaffle Kitchen

It has a buttery custard cream base, a vanilla sprinkle cheesecake filling, topped with more sprinkles and whipped cream!

Confetti cake is a type of cake that has rainbow colored sprinkles baked into the batter. It is called confetti cake because when baked, the rainbow sprinkles melt into dots of bright color that resemble confetti.

Typically the batter is either white or yellow to allow for a better visual effect. The cake generally consists of flour, butter, baking powder, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and rainbow colored sprinkles. The cake normally has a frosting made of butter, salt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.

Confetti cake has inspired many interpretations such as confetti cheesecake, cookies, cereal bars, and even croissants.  Confetti cakes are also called funfetti cakes.
