Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Colored sprinkles (optional)
• 2 cups Buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans, then set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

If using sprinkles, gently fold them into the batter with a spatula to create a funfetti effect.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of buttercream frosting on top of one cake. Stack the second cake on top, then frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.

Step 11

Decorate the cake with additional sprinkles, candies, or cake toppers as desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve to happy little cake lovers!
