Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp (10ml) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1/4 cup (15g) rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1g salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with the whole milk until a smooth batter forms. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles by hand.
- Spread batter evenly into the pan and bake for 22–25 minutes until the edges pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Use a 3-inch circular cutter or glass to punch out 10 equal rounds from the chilled cake using a slight twisting motion.
- Whip together the buttercream butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or dollop frosting onto each cake round and smooth into a dome using an offset spatula. Top with extra sprinkles immediately.
