Ingredients

For the cake:
  • 5 large egg whites room temperature
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup Sprinkles
For the frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Sprinkles

Instructions

For the cake:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together the egg whites and 1/4 cup of the milk in a small bowl until slightly combined. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Beat in egg white mixture until fully blended. Add in remaining milk and beat for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Fold in sprinkles.
  3. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with baking spray. Pour batter into pans and bake in a 350 degree oven for 26-28 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
For the frosting:
  1. Beat butter for 3 minutes using whisk attachment on an electric mixer. Add in powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla. Beat an additional 4-5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. To assemble, place one layer of cake on a cake stand. Add a large amount of frosting to top and smooth with an offset spatula. Top with second layer of cake. Apply frosting to entire cake.
  3. To add the sprinkles to sides of cake, place cake on a baking sheet (to help catch excess sprinkles). Fill hand with sprinkles and press gently into sides of cake. Repeat until desired amount of sprinkles are applied.

Notes

  • Store leftover cake tightly covered in a cake saver or airtight container. Enjoy within 3 days.
  • Don't discard those egg yolks! They come in handy for making Homemade Lemon Curd. (You know you wany to try it).
  • Use my Homemade Cake Release to make it easier to slide baked cakes out of the pan.
