Funfetti Layer Cake

This colorful, sweet concoction is perfect for a kid’s birthday party or the perfect treat for anyone who is still young at heart. This recipe yields a fluffy, moist, and delicious cake, all while being incredibly simple to follow.

It is imperative that you use rainbow jimmies in the cake, as other types of sprinkles will bleed their color and cause an undesirable grayness throughout the batter. But you can use any sprinkles your heart desires to decorate this cake, the more the better!

Ingredients::

• 1 cup melted butter
• 3 ⅓ cup flour
• teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 ⅓ cup rainbow jimmies (multicolored rod sprinkles)

1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease two 9 inch round pans with cooking spray, set aside.
2. Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract and sugars, whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by whisking in the milk and yogurt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions. Stir vigorously until the batter is smooth but thick.
5. Slowly stir in the sprinkles, careful not to overmix at this point to prevent colors from bleeding.
6. Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, be careful to fill the pans only halfway.
7. Bake for 25 minutes. Place loose aluminum foil on top of cakes in oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes for a total bake time of 40 minutes.
8. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting. (Best if frosted with vanilla buttercream and decorated colorfully)
