Ingredients

For the Cake
  • 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup Rainbow sprinkles
For the Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup whole milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
  3. Use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and airy in texture, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition to incorporate the yolk. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.
  5. Stir in half of the flour mixture, followed by the sour cream and milk. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the sprinkles.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top into an even layer.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top of the cake springs back when touched.
  9. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing and transferring to a cooling rack.
  10. While the cake cools, make the glaze. Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
  11. Drizzle the icing over the cake and allow to set before slicing and serving.
