Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Combine buttermilk with the dry ingredients, alternating while mixing on medium-high speed. Start and end with the buttermilk, mixing just until combined. Scrape the bowl periodically and fold in the sprinkles.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until a crumbly texture forms. Blend in vanilla and salt, adding heavy cream until reaching desired consistency. Fold in additional sprinkles.
Frost the cooled cake with the prepared frosting and add more sprinkles on top. Use an offset spatula for easier frosting. Store loosely covered for up to two days.
This recipe also makes 24 cupcakes, two 9-inch rounds, or three 8-inch rounds.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
For a colorful twist, add more sprinkles to the frosting or on top of the finished cake.
This cake works perfectly for parties and celebrations.
