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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring not to over-mix so the colors do not bleed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting, if desired.
