Sweet Tooth Fairy Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

6. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix.

7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. For the frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth.

11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

12. Add the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

13. For a pop of color, add a few drops of food coloring to the frosting and mix until evenly distributed.

14. Assembling the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.

15. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

16. For a decorative touch, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top of the cake.

17. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
