Description
This cheerful cake is light and filled with colorful sprinkles, perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup colorful sprinkles
- Buttercream frosting (for decoration)
- Extra sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Fold in the colorful sprinkles gently.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, spread buttercream frosting over one layer, stack the second layer, then frost the outside. Top with extra sprinkles.
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs and butter for better mixing. Store covered for up to 2 days at room temperature, or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
