Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix 15.25 oz box
- 1 small box vanilla Instant pudding mix 3.4 oz box
- 5 large egg whites
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream or yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
Vanilla Glaze
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 TBSP hot water
- 2 TBSP butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325° F. Coat mini muffin tins with cooking spray- note that the non-stick spray made specifically for baking works best! This recipe makes 75-85 mini cupcakes so I ended up baking 3 1/2 batches in my mini cupcake pan that holds 24 cupcakes.
- Beat the ingredients for the cupcakes in a large bowl with an electric mixer for several minutes until smooth and somewhat whipped looking.
- Fill each muffin hole about 3/4 way full. I used a heaping small cookie scoop and it worked perfectly! Bake each pan for about 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the pan for a few minutes, then overturn cake bites onto a wire rack. Turn cakes right side up and let cool another 5 minutes. Then you're ready to glaze them!
- Lay out some waxed paper so that clean-up is easier. Whisk the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. You'll want the glaze to be a bit thicker than syrup so that it coats each cake bite. Feel free to add more hot water or powdered sugar until you feel like you've reached the right consistency.
- Dip each cake bite into the glaze and set it on the wax paper. Immediately add sprinkles to the top.
- If the glaze hardens a bit, stick the bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds. Repeat until all cake bites are glazed. They take just a few minutes to cool and firm up and they're ready to serve!

Notes
Recipe yields about 75-80 cupcake bites.
You can make all the bites the same size or you can do some one-bite cakes and some two-bites cakes. The difference is using the small cookie scoop or the medium cookie scoop. A heaping small scoop will give you something in the middle. I like the option of having some smaller bites.
