Birthday Cake Pancakes

Total Time: 25 minutes 0 Reviews Jump to Recipe

Breakfast or dessert? These pancakes – made from cake batter – are a real treat for any birthday boy or girl!


So, today is my birthday.  And since I’ve been wanting to make these Birthday Cake Pancakes, I knew this would be the perfect chance!  And get this – those are just made from cake batter.  Truly a decadent breakfast!! Make sure you keep the size to 3-inch pancakes. Anything larger is just too hard to flip.

I’ve been dying to try to re-create my favorite birthday cake from my childhood – but from scratch, so I will be attempting to do that today.  (Yes, I totally want to make my own birthday cake!)  Hopefully all will go well and I’ll be sharing the recipe tomorrow!

Description

Make birthdays extra special with these Birthday Cake Pancakes.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • ingredients called for on the back of the cake mix
  • sprinkles
  • powdered sugar
  • milk

Instructions

  1. Mix the cake mix according to the directions.
  2. Heat a griddle over medium heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cake batter onto hot griddle to make 3-inch pancakes. Sprinkle with sprinkles.
