1
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and mix until well combined.
4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
6
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
