Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1.25 cups whole milk
  • 0.75 cups rainbow sprinkles (plus more for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with milk, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  4. Frost with your favorite vanilla or buttercream frosting and top with additional sprinkles.

Notes

For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week, and freeze if desired.
