How to Bake a Funfetti Cake

Baking a Funfetti cake is a fun and delicious way to celebrate any occasion. Follow these simple steps to make your own homemade Funfetti cake:

Ingredients: - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour - 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar - 3 large eggs, at room temperature - 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract - 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature - 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.

3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Then, add in the vanilla extract and mix well.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth out the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula.

8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

9. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost and decorate them however you'd like! Some popular frosting options for Funfetti cakes include vanilla buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or even whipped cream.

11. Slice and serve the cake, and enjoy!

That's it! With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can make a delicious homemade Funfetti cake that's sure to be a hit with everyone.
