  9. Add powdered sugar gradually, alternating with milk, and beat until smooth and spreadable. Stir in vanilla.
  10. Frost between cake layers and cover the top and sides. Decorate with extra sprinkles.

Notes

  • Use jimmies-style sprinkles to prevent color bleeding.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Let refrigerated cake come to room temperature before serving.
  • Can be made into cupcakes by adjusting bake time.
