Ingredients
Flavor Ingredients
- 90 g smarties 2 boxes
- ¼ cup sprinkles
- 250 grams cream cheese
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
Cake Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of milk separated ½ cup and ¾ cups
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups Sugar
Instructions
Whipped Cream and Cream Cheese Frosting
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the heavy cream slowly down the side of the bowl.
- Scrape the bowl.
- Mix on medium high until stiff and fluffy. Do not over mix. Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the mini desserts.
Cake
- See note if you are making both vanilla and chocolate mini desserts using the same batter.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the 4 oz of milk, vanilla extract and oil and set aside.
- Mix 6 oz of milk with room temperature eggs and set aside.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer.
- Turn on Mixer and add butter until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the milk and oil mixture. Scrape down the bowl occasionally.
- Pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and use a spatula to spread the batter to the edges.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out dry.
Assembly
- Cut circular cake disks, using a cup or a round cookie cutter. You should yield at least 20 round disks on one cake pan. You can also use the remnant pieces when assembling your desserts in a cup.
- In a food processor, grind the candy covered chocolate to a medium grind. Place in a small bowl.
- Start by placing a cake disk in the bottom of a cup. Top with whipped cream cheese frosting and then sprinkle ground candy covered chocolate generously on top.
- Repeat these step 3 and top your mini dessert with birthday sprinkles.
- Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
