Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 1/4 cups Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Butter ((softened, cut into cubes))
- 2/3 cup Buttermilk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 large Egg White
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1/3 cup Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (dry)
- 3/4 cup Rainbow Sprinkles
- 1 cup Butter ((softened))
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese ((softened))
- 3 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar ((may add 1/2 cup more for stiffer frosting))
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream or Milk ((optional))
- 1 cup Rainbow Sprinkles ((on top of the cake))
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a standing mixer, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat the butter into the flour mixture, one cube at a time. Continue to beat until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Add the 1/2 of the egg-milk mixture and oil and beat the batter is light and fluffy. Add remaining egg-milk mixture and vanilla pudding and mix just until combined. Take a spatula and scrape the sides of the bowl. Add rainbow sprinkles and fold into batter.
- Spread into greased (with non-stick cooking spray or butter/flour) 8 or 9-inch cake pans and smooth tops with a spatula. Bake for 16-22 minutes, depending on the depth of pans. If the cake layers are thin, they will cook for less time than the thicker layers.
- Let cakes cool. Run a knife around edge of cake pan and flip over. Frost with vanilla frosting.
