    I LOVE Pancakes. And, I love cake. SO, what better way to start any special day than with Cake Batter Pancakes?! 


    Hello, sprinkles. You are a lovely sight first thing in the morning.

    Yes, it tastes just like eating cake for breakfast.  A very fun tradition to celebrate special days. I also just reached “best mom ever” status.  Thank you sprinkles, you never let me down. 

    Keep scrolling for the full recipe! And don’t miss out on the other pancake recipes I have down at the bottom of this post. 

    *Pro Tip* – Use an ice cream scoop to ensure perfectly even-sized pancakes every time!

    Cake Batter Pancakes

    Cake Batter Pancakes. Perfect for any special occasion, and dessert for breakfast absolutely counts. 

    • Author: Alexis

    Ingredients

    Scale

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup yellow cake mix
    1 tablespoon sugar
    3/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/8 tsp salt
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1-2 cups milk (varies depending on cake mix)
    1/2 cup assorted sprinkles

    For The Glaze

    1 cup powdered sugar

    1/2 tablespoon milk

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    extra assorted sprinkles

    Mix milk, extract, and powdered sugar until glaze forms.

    You may need to add a little more sugar or water/milk to reach desired consistency.

    Mix into glaze and drizzle on pancakes. Top with extra sprinkles. 

    Instructions

    Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mix. Add 1 cup of milk, egg, and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. You want the batter to look like regular pancake batter; not too thin, not too thick.

    This will vary greatly on the brand of cake mix you use. Start with 1 cup of milk and add more if needed.

    Preheat a skillet on medium heat (I use an electric grilled and turn it to 275 degrees). Fold desired amount of sprinkles into the batter.

    Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto the skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes.

    Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Serve with vanilla glaze.

    Notes

    We like to eat ours hot with butter and powdered sugar (you can mix these into a delicious combo of melted goodness) but you can also serve it with the glaze if you want an extra special syrup. 

    *Because at this point, we really need more sugar*

      HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear friend! I wish I was close by and could have made your breakfast cake this morning, but obviously, you did a magnificent job. I will have to remember this for my grands because I think kids should have as much fun as we do for our birthdays. Love, XOXO

      Just found this on Pinterest — anything that is “funfetti”-themed as far as desserts Kyle absolutely loves. So when I found this the first thing that came to mind is a great birthday breakfast for my hubby 😀 Thanks for sharing this recipe I’m looking forward to trying it in a couple of weeks!

    Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I sh Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I share my faith with others. It can be hard to figure out where to start, but by sharing your faith with even one person you've already made a difference.

Share your faith with those around you authentically. It's important to show that your life isn't perfect. Talk about the good and the bad and what God has done for you in those times!  Talking about God and His faithfulness each day helps create a natural flow.  Talk about God often through the day in casual settings and just in conversation. 

Pray for those you interact with. Pray for God to place someone in your life who needs Him.

Of course, my greatest way of sharing my faith is with you all. I love that we've created a community here full of joyfulness and rejoicing in God’s perfect ways. I've been able to write about my own experiences (good and bad/hard) on the blog and here on Instagram, in a way where I'm able to encourage and really connect with new friends.

If you ever need any advice I'm always here! Tag someone in the comments you want to pray for today. Or simply leave us your 🙏 to spread a little joy 💕

    This travel schooling adventure has been nothing s This travel schooling adventure has been nothing short of amazing. We have finished out 2 weeks on the road and we have driven over 2,000 miles! We zigzagged across Utah and went through the center of Arizona.

My very favorite scenery so far has been Arches National Park. My goodness…..it is stunning! We went twice to Goblin Valley to play on all of the big red rocks.  

We still have about 5 more days before we get home and plenty more to explore.

We are creating memories that will bond us for life and I am so so thankful for this special time together.

What’s one of your top favorite places you’ve ever visited? Comment below 💕
