  • 1 1/2 cups butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract

  • 3-4 Tbs milk
  • Sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer add your flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder.

  • Fold in sprinkles until they are evenly distributed among your batter.
  • Pour into baking pan and bake. for 18-22 minutes, remove and cool completely

To make frosting:

  • In bowl of stand mixer beat your butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add in your extracts and beat again.
  • Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until combined.
  • Add in milk 1 Tbs at a time until you get your desired consistency.
  • Spread over top of cake and sprinkle with extra sprinkles.

Notes

  1. Use the rod shaped sprinkles in the cake and not nonpareils.
  2. Let your batter cool slightly before you add your sprinkles in so they don't melt into the batter.
  3. For the frosting we use a mixture of vanilla and almond extract, you can omit the almond if you do not like it and just use all vanilla.
  4. We love frosting, if you think this is too much for your cake cut back to 1 cup of butter instead.
  5. Add as many sprinkles as you want to the batter, but do not overwhelm it, we use about 1/2 cup.
