Ingredients

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, make the yellow cake mix on the box as directed.
  • Add 1/4 of the sprinkles into the cake mixer and fold in gently.
  • Prepare a skillet with grease or butter and heat to low-medium heat. Add 1/4 of the batter to the prepared skillet and wait until bubbles start to form on the surface. When serval bubbles are present, flip to cook the other side of the pancake. Cook until the edges are golden brown.
  • Top with any extra sprinkles and serve with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or any other topping of your choice.

Notes

  • Use jimmies-style sprinkles so the colors stay bright and don’t bleed.
  • Fold the sprinkles in gently at the end.
  • Make the cake mix according to the package instructions, with the same amount of oil, eggs, and water listed.
