Cake Batter Pancakes
Description
This recipe blends cake mix with traditional pancake ingredients to produce pancakes that have an enriched, sweeter batter reminiscent of yellow cake. The batter includes dry ingredients—flour, cake mix, sugar, baking powder, and salt—mixed with wet ingredients like egg, vanilla extract, and milk to reach a smooth consistency. Folding sprinkles into the batter adds bursts of color and sweetness throughout.
The pancakes are cooked on a medium-heat skillet or griddle until bubbles form on the surface, indicating readiness to flip and cook through. A vanilla glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla is drizzled on top after cooking along with additional sprinkles, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
This creates a playful breakfast or brunch choice that resembles eating cake but in pancake form, suitable for celebrations or whenever a sweeter twist to pancakes is desired. The texture remains soft and fluffy while the glaze adds a creamy sweetness complementing the batter's flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup yellow cake mix
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 cups milk I used vanilla almond milk
- Sprinkles assorted
glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles assorted
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. I suggest a small taste test as well to see if the pancakes are flavored enough.
- Preheat a skillet on medium heat (I use an electric grilled and turn it to 250 degrees). Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter. Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Serve with vanilla glaze.
glaze
- 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.
