Sprinkle Celebration Cake
Ingredients
  • Baking spray with flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup multicolored sprinkles (jimmies)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup multicolored sprinkles (jimmies)
  • additional multicolored sprinkles (jimmies) for garnish
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Next, spray non-stick cooking spray liberally onto the surfaces of three round cake pans with diameters of 8 inches. Cover the bases of each pan with a sheet of parchment paper, cut to fit snugly.
2
Combine granulated sugar and softened butter in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, operating at a moderate pace until the mixture becomes light and airy, approximately 4 minutes. Introduce eggs one at a time, blending on low speed until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3
In a separate container, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three stages, alternating with milk and commencing and concluding with the flour mixture. Blend on low speed until the ingredients are fully merged after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and sprinkles into the mixture on low speed, approximately 20 seconds.
4
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans, allocating roughly 2 cups of batter to each pan.
5
Place the trays in a preheated oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of each cake emerges clean, taking approximately 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
6
Invert each cake onto a wire rack and permit to cool completely, approximately 30 minutes.
7
Prepare the frosting: Combine softened butter in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, operating at a moderate pace until creamy, approximately 2 minutes. Introduce powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract into the mixture on low speed until fully incorporated, approximately 30 seconds. Blend in sour cream. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until fluffy, scraping down sides as needed, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Incorporate sprinkles into the frosting.
8
Position one cake layer on a serving plate; spread approximately 3/4 cup of frosting onto the surface. Repeat this process one more time, placing a second cake layer on top and spreading frosting in between.
9
Top the final cake layer with the remaining frosting. Spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Adorn with additional sprinkles, if desired.
10
Store the cake loosely covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
