# Ingredients:
→ For the Cakes
01 -
1 boxed mix for white cake (or your homemade version), prepared as instructed
02 -
Assorted Easter-themed candies (like jelly beans, mini eggs, or M&Ms)
→ For the Glaze
03 -
2 tablespoons milk (add extra if needed)
04 -
A single teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
05 -
Pastel gel food coloring for spring vibes
06 -
2 full cups of powdered sugar
07 -
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
# Instructions:
01 -
Coat a mini bundt cake pan with butter and dust with flour. This recipe works for a pan that creates six medium-sized cakes.
02 -
Follow the steps on the cake mix box (or make your own white cake batter from scratch). Pour into the prepared pan and bake as suggested by the instructions.
03 -
Cool the cakes all the way before doing anything else. After they’ve cooled, trim off just a small portion at the bottom of each cake so they can stand without tipping over.
04 -
Stir powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. It should be thick but pourable. Add some milk if it’s too stiff or more sugar if it’s too watery. Split the glaze into a few bowls, and use food coloring to make each a unique pastel shade.
05 -
Load up the hole in the middle of every bundt cake with your chosen candy. The more you use, the more fun the surprise when served!
06 -
Carefully drizzle the colorful glaze over the cakes, keeping it away from the candy-filled hole. Decorate the tops with extra candy for flair.
