Did I have you at birthday cake batter? I made these fluffy stacks of deliciousness for my husband’s birthday but, you can make these for any celebration or just about anytime you crave them! These pancakes are topped with a luscious buttercream glaze and sprinkled colorful sprinkles. Wanna make your own stack?
Here’s what you’ll need:1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour| 1/2 cup yellow cake mix| 1 Tablespoon baking powder| 1 Tablespoon sugar| 1/4 teaspoon salt| 2 eggs, slightly beaten| 1/4 cup butter, softened| 1 3/4 cup milk| Colorful sprinkles.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Add in beaten eggs, milk, and butter. Stir gently just until dry ingredients are well incorporated. Batter should be a little lumpy. Let batter sit for 7-10 minutes.
I LOVE SPRINKLES!
Fold in sprinkles. Heat buttered griddle to 375 degrees. Add batter to the griddle using a 1/4 cup to scoop out the batter. When small bubbles start to break on the surface of the pancake, it is ready to flip. Stack pancakes on a plate when done.
Buttercream Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar| 2 Tablespoon butter, melted| 2 Tablespoons heavy cream| 2-3 Tablespoon milk| 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Combine all ingredients & stir until it reaches a glaze consistency. You may need to add more milk if it’s to thick or more powdered sugar if it’s too thin.
Happy Birthday to the best husband in the world! XO
I initially started this blog in 2010 to chronicle my baking adventures. In 2013 I became a mother and this space shifted to sharing my DIYs and inspiration for creative living. Since then, I've been fortunate to work with multiple companies producing creative editorial content. As I look back at this blog, I'm reminded of how your passions can actually unfold into a career. And if you're really patient and willing to put in the all the work, dream jobs do come true. So it is here where I say au revoir to my beloved blog, aka my creative journal. You can still find me on @craftedbyjen . xoxo, Jen
