What? How is it the last week of August? There’s a 3 day weekend coming up? You better believe it! You would never know September is approaching because it’s still very hot here in Portland, but I guess I should be soaking up these day because the darkness is coming (aka winter). We did some serious #adulting this weekend which included a trip to Costco. I love a good trip to Costco but I also like to avoid it like the plague because, well, Costco is just nuts on a Sunday.
As soon as I got home I definitely needed a cookie, but I wish I had a slice of cake! Chocolate Funfetti Bundt Cake to be exact. This dark chocolate cake is filled with a funfetti cheesecake filling and a cream cheese glaze. Plus there’s plenty of sprinkles to go along!
Today is an extra special day because we’re celebrating Sally from Sally’s Baking addiction! Sally is expecting her baby girl soon, along with the release of the THIRD cookbook (stay tuned for a recipe from her upcoming book!). That a lot of excitement all in one month!
Sally’s blog was one of the first I discovered right before I started blogging all the years ago. She was so kind, she always responded to every comment I left on her blog and also stopped by my blog to leave comments as well. It meant the world it me! I would read through all of her very detailed blog posts where she explains everything as the how and the WHY behind her recipes.
This past spring I had the pleasure of finally meeting Sally in person at the Everything Food Conference. We attended a culinary event where Sally’s taught us how to make toffee. I’ve actually never made toffee (or any candy) before, so it was pretty exciting!
A huge congrats to Sally and her husband Kevin on their first baby! Actually we got to meet Kevin too, and simultaneous (and unplanned) Lindsay and I both said, “you don’t know us but we know you!” and then had a good laugh about that. Not awkward at all or anything.
Well if you know Sally, then you know she LOVES sprinkles! So, it’s only fitting that I’m sharing a funfetti recipe with you today.
This cake is a mash up of two of my previous favorite bundt cake recipes! We’re talking about the Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Bundt Cake. The dark chocolate cake is the same, but I’ve changes up the cheesecake filling to be more funfetti-ified. It’s a word.
It starts with a cake mix, so there’s no need to be intimidated by this recipe! Just look at how chocolatey that cake is! Throw some of that batter in the bottom of the bundt pan, then fill it in with the cream cheese filling and top it off with the rest of the batter. Once it’s baked you’ll cover it with that dreamy cream cheese glaze.
This glaze is to-die-for. Every bite of cake deserves a little bit of this glaze. Don’t forget the sprinkles on top!

Description
One bite of this Chocolate Funfetti Cheesecake Bundt Cake is not enough. This dark chocolate cake is filled with a funfetti cheesecake filling and a cream cheese glaze. Plus there’s plenty of sprinkles to go along!
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 box chocolate cake
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cups water
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
For the cheesecake:
- 1 package (8oz) cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup dry vanilla cake mix
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sprinkles
For the topping:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4–5 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
- Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350° F. Generously grease a large bundt pan with Crisco and coat it with a mixture of 50% flour and 50% cocoa powder. Do not skip this step, it is important to help the cake release from the pan!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, cocoa powder eggs, oil, water, sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix all of the ingredients until they are well combined. Set aside.
- For the cheesecake: Remove the wrapper and microwave the cream cheese for 20-25 seconds.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the egg, cake mix and vanilla extract. Mix all of the ingredients until they are well combined and smooth. Stir in the sprinkles last.
- Place at least 1/3 of the cake batter into the bottom of the greased and floured pan, be sure to cover at least the bottom nooks and crannies.
- Then spread the Oreo cheesecake over top of the cake batter and try to spread it evenly.
- Finally, cover the cheesecake layer with the remaining cake batter. Bake at 350° F for 45-52 minutes. Note that baking times will vary by oven and pan type. To test the cake for doneness, insert a knife into the cake, if the knife comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Allow the cake to cool for at least 15-20 minutes and gently run a knife around the sides of the pan to help release the cake from the sides of the pan. Turn the cake onto a pan by placing the pan on the top of the cake and use two hands to invert it. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- For the topping: Remove the wrapper and microwave the cream cheese for 20-25 seconds and then beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth.
- Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until the ingredients are well combined. Then slowly add the heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time until the cream cheese reaches your desired consistency. It should still be thick, not watery, but it should run off your spoon without too much effort.
- Place the cream cheese in a piping bag and cut off the edge of the piping bag about ¼-inch from the bottom. Pipe the cream cheese frosting along the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with sprinkles. Keep this cake refrigerated in an air tight container and allow to come to room temperature before serving.
