Birthdays are a special occasion for everyone, especially for children. It is a day where they get to have fun, be surrounded by people who love them and of course, eat some delicious cake! With this simple cake recipe, you can make the most delicious and fun birthday cake for your kid.

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Vanilla buttercream frosting
Assorted sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla extract.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

Once the cakes are completely cooled, you can assemble the cake. Place one layer on a cake board or serving plate, top with a generous layer of buttercream frosting, then place the second layer on top. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with sprinkles.
