Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature.
- Prepare Bundt Pan: Thoroughly grease and flour your Bundt pan to prevent sticking and help the cake release easily after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, creating a smooth base.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to maintain an even texture and fully combine.
- Add Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract to infuse the batter with rich flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the rainbow sprinkles into the batter to evenly distribute the colorful confetti without bleeding.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
- Do not overmix after adding flour to keep the cake tender.
- Use rainbow sprinkles specifically designed for baking to prevent color bleeding.
- If your Bundt pan is intricate, use a non-stick spray designed for baking to ensure even release.
- Cooling the cake in the pan helps prevent breaking when you invert it.
