I made this cake loaf per request!

I’m an idiot though and forgot to note down the person who requested it, so hope you’re reading this, girlie who loves funfetti cake and whose birthday is coming up late May 😬

Moist without a single drop of oil or butter, and despite all the frosting and sprinkles in this thing, 7g total sugar per slice 👌

It totally hit the spot and you can even eat it for breakfast!

Let me know if you give this one a try!

Here’s a link to the junior loaf pan I like to use.
If you want to make a homemade mini-batch frosting, whisk together 3 tbsp powder sugar (20 g) with 1 tbsp softened (plant) butter or cream cheese (15 g), add a drop of milk or more powder sugar to bring to the desired consistency. Enjoy!
