Equipment you will need

Loaf pan (9x5 inch)

mixing bowls

Electric mixer (hand or stand)

Measuring cups and spoons

Rubber spatula

Cooling rack

Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
¾ cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup rainbow sprinkles

For the Funfetti Buttercream Frosting:

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3-4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
¼ cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for topping)

Instructions

Prepare for Baking:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is well combined.

Combine with Dry Ingredients:

Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Fold in Sprinkles:

Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Bake:

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool:

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Frosting:

Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low until combined. Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream until smooth. Fold in the sprinkles.

Frost the Cake:

Once the cake is completely cool, spread the Funfetti Buttercream Frosting over the top. Garnish with additional sprinkles.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter, eggs, and buttermilk are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.

Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to keep the cake tender.

Check for Doneness: Ovens vary, so start checking the cake for doneness at the 35-minute mark.

Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the buttercream from melting.
