Funfetti Sprinkle Cake
A simple recipe for Funfetti or Sprinkle Cake. This is a soft, spongy and yummy cake, very easy to make especially for birthdays. I have used 6 inches round cake pan and got 3 cakes of the same size. If you have a different size pans, you just need to watch for the change in the baking time. The vanila frosting made here is for the layering and covering of the three 6 inches cakes. For the rosettes and decoration, I prepared the buttercream with the same recipe once more. So, let's see how it is made!!

Notes
The baking time would vary depending on the oven and you should check it after 35mins OR 5 mins before the baking time given in the recipe(not just in this but also in other recipes).
The sprinkles you add can be more or less depending on your likings.
The vanilla buttercream made above is just enough for layering and covering the cake.
For the rosettes, I had to make the vanilla buttercream with the same recipe given above.
Try this amazing cake and I’m sure you would love it.
Lots of Love,
