Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
Add-ins
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt then set aside.
Creaming
  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Adding Eggs and Vanilla
  1. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Folding in Sprinkles
  1. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cooling and Frosting
  1. Let cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cool, frost with your favorite buttercream frosting.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a bit of almond extract to the batter. Keep any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to three days.
