Sprinkles Preparation
  1. Whisk together one large egg white, 2.25 cups of organic powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of sakura extract until a thick consistency. Color as desired with gel food coloring.
  2. Pipe the icing onto parchment-lined sheets and let them dry overnight to harden.
Bundt Cake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 0.33 cup of refined coconut oil, and 2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of sakura extract, and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt.
Mixing the Batter
  1. Add 4 large egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  2. Fold in the sifted cake flour and 1 cup of kefir until just combined.
  3. Gently stir in your homemade sprinkles.
Baking
  1. Pour the prepared batter into the greased bundt pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
  2. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cooling
  1. Remove the bundt cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Invert the pan to a cooling rack and let cool completely before icing.
Glazing
  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons of blood orange juice or raspberry puree, and 1 teaspoon of sakura extract.
