Rice Crispy Cake: Ingredients & Substitutions
Salted Butter. unsalted butter or vegan butter are good substitutes. Marshmallows. I highly recommend using mini marshmallows because they are the easiest and fastest to melt! Or, make homemade marshmallows. Crispy Rice Cereal. no substitutes here! Name brand or generic both yield great results. Vanilla Extract. vanilla bean paste is a good substitute.
How to make a Rice Crispy Cake
As always, I’m going to start by walking you through the process of making this Candy-Stuffed Rice Crispy Cake! It’s super simple to put together, but there are a few tips and tricks that will ensure your rice crispy cake making success! Grease a 10-cup bundt pan, or use a silicone bundt pan. Set aside Measure out 5 ½ cups of crispy rice cereal, set aside. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat, stirring often. Once butter is mostly melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Add sea salt and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add cereal and stir until evenly distributed. Pour the sprinkles over the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Pour rice crispy treat mixture into the cake pan. Press down gently with a greased spatula or your hands. Let the rice crispy cake cool to room temperature (30-60 minutes) before removing it from the Bundt pan and serving.
Serve
I suggest serving this Rice Crispy Cake with sprinkles on top. You can also fill the center with candy for a fun presentation. Cut it into slices and serve on plates. It’s can be eaten with forks or by hand!
