Ingredients
CAKE
3 and 3/4 cups (443g) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 cups (3 sticks; 345g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 and 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
3 teaspoons (15ml) pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup (135g) rainbow sprinkles
VANILLA BUTTERCREAM
1 and 1/2 cups (3 sticks; 345g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
6 cups (700g) confectioners’ sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream, at room temperature
3 teaspoons (15ml) pure vanilla extract (or use clear imitation vanilla extract for stark white frosting)
1/8 teaspoon salt
optional: additional sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 8-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper rounds.
Make the cake: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar together on high speed for 5 full minutes until completely creamed together and fluffy.
Add the eggs, egg whites, and vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until combined.
Add dry ingredients and buttermilk in three additions, mixing after each addition just until incorporated. Do not over-mix this batter. The batter will be velvety and thick. Gently fold in the sprinkles. Pour and spread the batter evenly into each cake pan.
Bake for around 27–28 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. Tent the cakes with foil after about 15 minutes to prevent the sides and top from over-browning.
To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
Allow cakes to cool in the pans set on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and then remove cakes from pans. Place cakes directly on wire racks to cool completely.
Make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds and then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. Add more confectioners’ sugar if frosting seems too thin; more cream if frosting is too thick; or an extra pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
