Steps to Make Funfetti Cake
1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with milk and oil.
- Stir in vanilla extract, then gently fold in the sprinkles to prevent colour bleeding.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
2. Prepare the Buttercream Frosting:
- Beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract, whipping until light and fluffy.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
- Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with a crumb coat.
- Chill the cake for 15 minutes, then apply a final layer of frosting.
- Decorate with additional sprinkles for a festive touch.
