Cake Batter Fudge

Cake batter is such a great flavor. I love cake and it’s totally fun when that flavor makes an appearance in non-cake items. Our favorite is cake batter ice cream. We have a shop here in town that’s open for a few hours a day during tourist season. After a morning of garden work and chores we like to treat ourselves to a little scoop of ice cream once in a while; cake batter gets chosen more times than not.

How long does fudge need to chill before serving?

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Make sure to store any left overs covered in the fridge.

Easy Cake Batter Fudge

This cake batter fudge is just as fun as it sounds, and it's super easy! No candy thermometer needed! The perfect, simple treat to take to birthday parties.

Ingredients

2 cups white cake mix with sprinkles included (sometimes called Birthday cake or Funfetti on the box)

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup milk

2/3 cup white chocolate chips

1/4 cup sprinkles

Instructions

Spray an 8 by 8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set side.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl add the cake mix and the powdered sugar and whisk to combine. Add all of the butter and the milk to the bowl but do not stir it in. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Take the bowl out of the microwave and add the chocolate chips. Then stir stir everything in the bowl together. The mixture will be very thick. Stir until there is no powder left and the chocolate chips melt.

Spread the warm mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Use your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup to press and smooth the top down. While the mixture is still warm add the sprinkles to the top and press them lightly into the surface of the fudge so that they stick.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Store any left overs covered in the fridge.

Notes

To ensure a smooth texture in your fudge, avoid stirring the mixture once it begins to boil. This helps prevent sugar crystals from forming, which can make your fudge grainy. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. Precise measurements are crucial in candy making, including fudge, to achieve the perfect texture and consistency. Add a pinch of salt to the fudge mixture before microwaving. Salt enhances the flavors of the chocolate and the vanilla from the cake mix, balancing the sweetness and adding depth.
