2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbs vanilla
3 eggs*
3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles

preheat oven to 350°. grease the bottom of two 9″ round cake pans & line with parchment paper. grease parchment & set aside.

with an electric mixer, beat all ingredients except the rainbow sprinkles. beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.

when mixed well, fold in the rainbow sprinkles. stir only briefly so the colors don’t start to run. pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.

bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. let cool on wire racks.

*IF YOU DESIRE AN ALL WHITE CAKE, YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE 6 EGG WHITES FOR THE 3 WHOLE EGGS. HOWEVER, THE CAKE WILL NOT BE AS TENDER.
