April Showers Bring May Flowers with this Fruity Pebbles Cake 

You all know I love Fruity Pebbles. I’m not sure what it is about this nostalgic cereal but I love adding it to everything. I’ve added it to cookies, waffles, and now even a cake! This cake was so easy and delicious! I am definitely over all the April showers we’ve had here in Texas lately, and this was the perfect thing to make to bring spring energy into my kitchen!
