  3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with milk and oil.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract, then gently fold in the sprinkles to prevent colour bleeding.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

2. Prepare the Buttercream Frosting:

  1. Beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract, whipping until light and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Cake:

  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
  2. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with a crumb coat.
  3. Chill the cake for 15 minutes, then apply a final layer of frosting.
  4. Decorate with additional sprinkles for a festive touch.
