Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • Buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk until just combined.
  6. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before turning the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Spread buttercream frosting between the layers and on top of the cake.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing when folding in the sprinkles.
