Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Additional:

  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies, not nonpareils)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
  5. Bake: Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool before frosting and decorating.

Notes

  • For best results, use jimmies sprinkles to prevent color bleeding.
  • Frost with vanilla buttercream and top with extra sprinkles for a fun finish.
