Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (about 120g) rainbow sprinkles (sturdy jimmies or nonpareils recommended)
  • Optional topping:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir the buttermilk and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles using a rubber spatula to avoid color bleeding.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top lightly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Do not overmix once flour is added to avoid a dense cake. Fold sprinkles in gently to prevent color bleeding. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. Tent cake with foil if browning too quickly. Coat sprinkles lightly with flour to prevent sinking.
