2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Frost and Decorate: Once cooled, frost the cakes with your choice of frosting and top with additional sprinkles. Slice and serve.
