Super Easy "Funfetti" Cake

So it was the nigh before Thanksgiving and I had a craving for something sweet.. I knew I'd be making pie the next day but I couldn't wait!! So I decided to make this super easy funfetti cake! 


Ingredients: Box mix, eggs, heavy cream (instead of water), butter (instead of oil), and sprinkles! Easy! 



I like to actually butter my pan, not pam, I think butter works better! 



I add the heavy cream and turn on the mixer and then add the eggs one at a time mixing well in-between each egg. 


Next, I pour the melted and cooled butter down the side of the pan mixing it in slowly.


I poured in about 3 tablespoons of sprinkles and whipped them in.




Pre-baked cake with the sprinkles.



When the cake came out the hard sprinkle was gone and all that was left was the pretty colors in the cake!


 I ate mine frosting free, because thats how I tend to prefer cake, but you could top it with any frosting of your choice!
