Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup colorful sprinkles
- to taste none frosting of your choice (buttercream or cream cheese recommended)
- to taste none edible decorations (such as chocolate eggs or bunny toppers)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the eggs, beating well after each addition.
- Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Gently fold the colorful sprinkles into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
Baking
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Decoration
- Once fully cooled, frost the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
- Decorate with additional sprinkles and edible decorations as desired.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture. Vary sprinkles based on preference and experiment with different frosting flavors.
