In a large mixing bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix (half the box for smaller servings) with 2 eggs (or 3 for a full box). Follow the box instructions for adding any additional ingredients required.

Mix until smooth, ensuring that the sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

When the cakes are still warm, use a fork or the dull end of a bamboo skewer to poke holes all over the top of each cake.
