Pour in the remaining cake batter.
Sprinkle the remaining jimmies and star sprinkles in and mix gently.

Cool and frost with whipped topping.
Garnish with sanding sugar, jimmies and star sprinkles.

Even Sprinkle Distribution: When adding the blue and red jimmies as well as star sprinkles to the cake batter, ensure they are evenly distributed throughout. Mix the sprinkles gently into the batter to avoid clumping and ensure that each slice of the red, white, and blue funfetti cake has a balanced distribution of colors and textures.
Layering Technique: Layering the cake batter in the pan creates a visually appealing effect once the cake is sliced. After pouring half of the batter into the greased pan, sprinkle half of the jimmies and star sprinkles on top and gently mix. Then, pour in the remaining batter and repeat the process with the remaining sprinkles. This ensures that the colors are distributed evenly throughout the cake layers.
Creative Garnish: Elevate the presentation of the Red White and Blue Funfetti Cake by garnishing it with sanding sugar, additional jimmies, and star sprinkles. Sprinkle the sanding sugar over the whipped topping frosting for a sparkly finish. Arrange the red and blue jimmies and star sprinkles on top of the frosting for a festive and patriotic touch. This adds visual appeal and makes the cake even more enticing for serving at celebrations and gatherings.
