Notes

  • To avoid the sprinkles bleeding into the cake I like to use the jimmie style sprinkles.
  • The cake is very moist and flavorful with a fantastic vanilla flavor. You can also mix up the extract flavors per your preference.
  • The frosting makes a thin layer which to me is the perfect ratio of frosting to cake. If you prefer more frosting, you can 1.5x or double the recipe.
