- Cooking Method: Baking
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Cuisine Type: American
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugar together until light and fluffy. Channel your inner drummer!
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. If your eggs had feelings, they’d feel special.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Stir in the flour and baking powder alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Don’t let it confuse you, just dance a little mixing jig.
- Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently. Too much aggression will take away the rainbow, and nobody wants that!
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Zen mode: engaged.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If your house starts smelling heavenly, you’re on the right path.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Patience is a virtue, even here.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap out whole milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free delight.
- Garnishing Options: Top with vanilla buttercream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar and even more sprinkles!
- Cooking Tips: Make sure not to overmix the batter after adding the sprinkles, or they might bleed and blend into your batter.
