Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring not to over-mix so the colors do not bleed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting, if desired.
