Ingredients

1 loaf sourdough or French bread cut into chunks
8 large eggs
2 ½ cups milk
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups Funfetti cake mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp sprinkles

Topping

1 cup Funfetti cake mix
½ cup butter cut into pieces
Rainbow chip frosting or maple syrup

Instructions

Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Add the bread chunks to a large bowl and set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, cake mix, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread chunks, then gently stir to combine.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Spread the sprinkles evenly over top of the casserole. Cover the casserole and store in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 F.
Bake the casserole for about 25 to 30 minutes. While the casserole bakes, cut the additional cake mix into the butter until it’s crumbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and crumble the streusel over the top of the casserole.
Continue baking the casserole for another 10 to 25 minutes, or until it’s at your desired level of doneness.
If using frosting, add some to a microwavable bowl and melt until pourable.
Serve the casserole warm with frosting or syrup and additional sprinkles if desired.
