🍰 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line 3 round cake pans.
2️⃣ Make the Batter
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk.
Gently fold in sprinkles (don’t overmix to keep colors bright!)
3️⃣ Bake
Divide batter evenly between pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cakes cool completely.
4️⃣ Make the Frosting
Beat butter until smooth.
Gradually add cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
Mix in cream, vanilla, and salt.
Beat until fluffy and spreadable.
5️⃣ Assemble the Cake
Layer cakes with chocolate frosting between each layer.
Frost the outside smoothly or create decorative swirls.
Finish with extra sprinkles on top for that funfetti magic! ✨
💡 Tip: Chill the cake layers before frosting for cleaner, bakery-style layers
