sprinkle cake

Buttery vanilla layer cake filled to the brim with rainbow sprinkles and finished off with sweet vanilla frosting with piped pink and blue border.

Funfetti Layer Cake

baking powder

baking soda

salt

sugar

4 large eggs, room temperature

(15 milliliters) pure vanilla extract

(360 milliliters) buttermilk, room temperature*

(142 grams) rainbow sprinkles*

6 cups (700 grams) sifted confectioners’ sugar

(80 milliliters) heavy cream

optional: additional sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and lightly flour three 9-inch cake pans.*

Make the cake

Whisk the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy &#8211; about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 5 full minutes until creamed together fairly well. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. On medium-high speed, add 1 whole egg at a time, beating well after each addition until all 4 whole eggs are mixed in. Set the 2 egg whites aside for now. Beat in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.

With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix this batter. The batter will be smooth, velvety, and slightly thick. Vigorously whisk or beat the 2 additional egg whites until thick, foamy, and soft peaks form- about 3 minutes. Gently fold into the batter. Finally, fold the sprinkles into the batter. Spoon/pour batter evenly into each cake pan.

Bake for around 25 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it is done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.

Make the frosting

 In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy &#8211; about 2 minutes. Add confectioners&#8217; sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and salt with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 full minutes. Add more confectioners&#8217; sugar if frosting is too thin, more cream if frosting is too thick, or a pinch more of salt if frosting is way too sweet.

Assemble and frost: 

First, using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and evenly cover the top with frosting. Finish with the third cake layer and spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I tinted extra frosting both pink (1 drop pink food coloring) and blue (1 drop blue coloring) and used a Wilton 1M tip to pipe it around the top edges. Decorate top of cake with sprinkles, if desired.

School Dinner Desserts Sprinkle Tray Bake

Updated in 2020, this is my favorite recipe for a one layer sprinkle cake. Tastes close to box cake mix, but it's completely from-scratch. For best success, read the recipe and recipe notes before beginning.

One Layer Sprinkle Cake

(177 grams) cake flour (spoon & leveled)

Tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

(150 grams) granulated sugar

egg whites,

cup (80 grams) sour cream,

(80 milliliters) whole milk,

(70 grams) sprinkles

(12 Tbsp; 170 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

(360 grams) confectioners’ sugar

Tablespoons (45 milliliters) heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk, at room temperature

teaspoon pure vanilla extract

salt,

optional: sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9&#215;2 inch round cake pan, line with a parchment paper round (see #6 in Cake Baking Tips), then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cake seamlessly release from the pan. I recommend using nonstick spray for greasing.

Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat on high speed until creamed together, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. On high speed, beat in the egg whites until combined, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer to low speed and as the mixer runs, slowly pour in the milk. Beat on low speed just until all of the ingredients are combined. Do not over-mix. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick. Gently fold in the sprinkles.

Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pan.

Bake for around 27-31 minutes or until the cake is baked through. After about 18 minutes, tent the cake with aluminum foil to prevent the top and edges from over-browning. To test the cake for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done.

Allow cake to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. The cake must be completely cool before frosting.

Make the buttercream

With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 full minutes. Add up to 1/4 cup (30g) more confectioners’ sugar if frosting is too thin or a splash of heavy cream if frosting is too thick. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. (I add a small pinch.)

Spread frosting all over the top. I always use an icing spatula. Top with sprinkles, if desired.

Cover leftover cake tightly and store at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Hi!!! I’ve being doing a lot of your desserts and I’m a biggest fan of you! Now! I’m doing this cake today for my son’s birthday tomorrow can I use buttermilk instead whole milk or is better just go with the milk?

Thank you very much! I’ll try like that !

Well, this was yummy.  My first time making a single layer cake and it is the perfect size for my family.  Such a simple idea that I never thought of.  Are there other single layer cake recipes on this site?  Or, I guess I can just take any cake recipe and cut all ingredients in half, right?  Thanks for this.  It's a keeper.

I used to make the old recipe and now just made the new one. I literally make this cake for every birthday and its SUCH a hit. I have never had a better cake. We love you, Sally!

Way way too sweet. The batter was pretty decent but the buttercream was extremely sweet for our taste buds.
