Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cups rainbow sprinkles
- 16 ounces whipped vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cups additional rainbow sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the 0.75 cups of rainbow sprinkles using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the colors from bleeding.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are fully cooled, spread a layer of whipped vanilla frosting over the top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top.
Frost the entire cake (top and sides) with the remaining whipped vanilla frosting.
Decorate the top of the cake with the additional 0.25 cups of rainbow sprinkles.
Slice and serve your Slumber Party Cake with your guests!
