Ingredients
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 ¾ cups (350g) white sugar
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour can be substituted)
1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
1 teaspoon (6g) salt
6 large egg whites (about 200g)
1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or any dairy/non-dairy substitute)
1 tablespoon (15ml) vanilla bean paste (vanilla extract can be used)
3 cups (approx. 300g) colorful crispy rice cereal, divided (½ cup for cereal milk, 2 cups folded in, remainder for decoration)
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cups (480g) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons (30ml) milk (plus more as needed)
1 tablespoon (15ml) vanilla bean paste
Instructions
1-First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan to prevent sticking. This step sets the stage for even baking and helps your cake release smoothly later.
2-Next, in a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and sugar to combine the dry ingredients, ensuring they blend well for a uniform texture.
3-In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add softened butter and milk, mixing until smooth to create the wet base. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a smooth batter don’t rush this part! Fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal carefully to maintain crunch without overmixing, as this keeps the fun texture intact.
4-Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula for an even rise. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, giving you that golden perfection.
5-Finally, let the cake cool completely before serving, and remember to modify ingredients for dietary needs by swapping for vegan or gluten-free options during mixing. Isn’t it great how a few simple steps can lead to such a delightful result?
