Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:37 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare 3 8-inch round cake pans by generously greasing and flouring. Be sure to shake out excess flour.
00:49 In stand mixer, beat butter on medium-low speed until creamy.
01:10 Add sugar and oil and beat until all ingredients are well-combined and creamy.
01:55 Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and then stir in your vanilla.
02:40 In separate bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt.
03:20 Measure out your milk.
03:33 With mixer on medium speed, gradually alternate between adding the flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until each one is almost completely combined before adding the next.
05:00 Pause occasionally to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.
05:30 In separate bowl, combine your egg whites and, with a hand-mixer on high-speed, beat until stiff peaks form.
08:56 Using a spatula, gently fold your egg whites and sprinkles into your batter. Take care to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so that ingredients are well-combined, and take care not to over-mix.
11:00 Evenly divide cake batter into prepared pans.
12:12 Bake on 350F (175C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean or with few crumbs (should not be wet). For best results, rotate your cake pans halfway through baking to ensure even baking.
12:35 Cakes will be a light golden brown when done baking.
12:59 Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Run a butterknife around the inside rim of each pan and invert each onto a cooling rack.
13:05 Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
I used this technique from I Am Baker to frost my cake. If you intend to use this technique as well it requires a lot of icing for the top and I recommend increasing this recipe by 50%. If you are just doing a plain covering that will not be needed.
In stand mixer, beat butter on medium-speed until creamy.
Add salt and beat again for about 20 seconds.
Gradually, about 1 cup at a time, add powdered sugar, waiting until each cup is completely mixed before adding the next cup.
Tbsp at a time, add the heavy cream on medium-high speed, waiting until each addition is well-combined before adding the next 2 Tbsp.
Add flavoring (vanilla extract or emulsion). and stir on medium-high for 30 seconds.
13:15 Transfer one layer of your cooled cake to serving platter. Use frosting to ice the top. Add the next layer, ice the top of that. Add your third layer on top and ice the top, and then do a thin "crumb coating" around the entire cake.
14:10 Transfer to freezer for 10-15 minutes, then remove and apply a clean, thick coat of frosting around the entire cake.
Notes
*Use sprinkles/jimmies or round sequin "quin" sprinkles, do NOT use nonpareils or they may bleed through your batter and ruin the coloring of your cake.
This cake may also be made in three 9" pans, just decrease the baking time. Start checking the cakes for doneness at 25 minutes.

Finally a recipe that does not use buttermilk. Will be trying this for my daughter’s birthday tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome! Enjoy and happy belated birthday to your daughter! :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! So I did, and it came out perfect. My daughter loved it, so did her sisters (I have four girls). Twas a small 3-tier cake and it was gone before I knew it. :)
Thank you so much for a recipe that actually has three 8 inch layers! Love all your recipes!!!
You are so welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying everything 🥰
This recipe looks really good I like the sprinkles inside the cake. It looks really colourful when u cut the slice.
This is such a happy cake!! Love your recipes and the way you do it! Keep going!!💖✌🐈🌼
Thank you so much 😀
I've just started watching you and I love this recipe!!

You’re welcome!! Enjoy! 😊
Great recipe. Cute kitchen.
Thank you so much! ❤️
The cake looks really good and I will try my best to make this. 😊
I hope you love it as much as we do! 💜
Omg, what a gorgeous cake! No matter how old I get I will always love confetti cake ☺🌈 I just recently made a batch of confetti cupcakes for a party that was nearly the same, just subbing whole milk greek yogurt for milk (because we don't keep whole milk on hand and I wasn't about to ruin a batch of cupcakes and dry them out with 2% milk 🤣).
Thank you so much! It’s such a great cake! 😊😊
I had exactly nine eggs yesterday when I decided to make this cake so you can imagine my anxiety while cracking, separating, and beating into stiff peaks😂. All I could think about were those massive amounts of other ingredients that would be wasted if I failed. Happily, this cake turned out beautifully and was delicious! I shared with friends and got good feedback. Thanks for another recipe that will go into my recipe box🎉
I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! I definitely know the anxiety you were feeling!
Another great recipe I will have to try🙃
Enjoy! 😊
I like the way you detail ever weight and measurement (ie in tabletspoon, grms, ml lovely God bless you
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the recipe i just made this cake yesterday it came out great your buttercream ingredients is that a double batch im making my granddaughters birthday cake .
This buttercream uses about 50% more powdered sugar and more heavy cream so similar but the proportions are just slightly larger, but not quite doubled. 😊
Would love to see the hard working chickens behind your recipes 😊
You can follow me @Sugarspun_sam on Instagram and I’ll be sure to have some coming in the next few weeks. 😊
A cake of our dreams.
It's a classic!
Yum! I am so trying this. 😋
Where can I find that frosting recipe?! It looks amazing.
I hope you love it! The frosting recipe is actually listed out in the description. 😊
I have used previous recipes and they came out great! I am going with this recipe for a special day. I'd like to bake ahead of time so the day of I can focus on decorating that being said... will this freeze well if so do I freeze after cooling or while warm? And well it stay moist?
This will freeze well and should remain moist. You will want to let the cakes cool COMPLETELY before freezing. :)
This will be our new birthday cake recipe. I have 6 babies. So we’ll be having plenty of it lol! Always make their cakes from scratch and this just looks perfect! 💜💜.
That's awesome! I hope everyone loves it! :)
Looks good yummy
Thank you 😋
Can you use the batter to make an oreo cake
Hi what a fantastic cake defo going to bake this one plz can you tell me what size eggs you used medium or large thank you
I hope you love it! Use large eggs here. 😊
Hi 👋 I am a new subscriber. The cake looks delicious and I will try the recipe. I have to ask why you do not use your stand mixer for making this? Is there some reason that would not be better?
Happy to have you here! You can absolutely use a stand mixer. I typically just use my electric mixer when making videos because it is easier for anyone watching to see in the bowl and see the texture of the batter etc. But I have made this with my stand mixer many times.
Would corn oil work for this recipe? It's the only cooking oil my family and I buy.
I haven't tried it, but it should work!
Heads up to everyone who loves yolky recipes and doesn't want to discard egg whites or make another recipe right away. Egg whites freeze beautifully. I once saved 10 whites over a few months and the meringue still whipped up well enough for angel food cake. (Might not use them for something finicky like macarons, but ymmv.)
Great tip! Thank you for sharing 💜
This looks amazing! I need to bake a sprinkle cake for my great neice's 8th birthday party next week. She has a specific design in mind. I need a two layer cake for 35 people. I was going to do two layers each of 6 & 8 inch round pans. I guess I will double this recipe and use the left over batter for cupcakes! Any idea how I would calculate this?
This cake would actually come close to making enough batter for 2 8 inch and 2 6 inch layers. You'd be roughly 1/2 cup of batter short so you may have slightly thinner cakes, but if you don't need the excess cupcakes I would probably just make it as is. :)
Another must try for me. I'll have to figure out the oil situation, though. I don't mess around with them. I'll probably try ghee. How bad can more butter be?
I think you can replace oil with applesauce in baked goods pretty universally. Might be worth a shot.
If you consume avocado oil, od recommend that. Solid fats will cause the cake to be less moist. Olive oil could work too, but will give it definitely impart a olive oil taste
The combination of oil and butter is what makes this cake so moist and flavorful. All butter would yield a dryer cake.
Sam thank you this will be special for mothers day nd please spoil your MOM too many thanks nd God bless nd your family
You’re welcome!! I hope she loves the cake! 😊😊😊
Do you happen to have any recipes for a really good coffee frosting?? I'm looking for one for mother's day
I don’t yet, sorry! I will add it to my list to work on, though!
@@SugarSpunRun aww i had been really hoping. well thank you!
My 4 year old daughter says, "I like that cake and I hope you can come over and look at the cake you made and that mommy made and I hope you can come to my party and taste the cake that my mommy makes for my birthday. I like your recipes and I like watching your videos and I like everything you make. Thank you for the videos that you have on mommys phone."
She loves watching your videos! 🥰
This is so sweet! Please let her know I so appreciate her watching! 🥰🥰💜
This is so sweet! Please let her know I so appreciate her watching! 🥰🥰💜
I cannot wait to make this ☺️ what is 9 tbsp butter in grams please? Also sam, could you kindly make coffee buttercream?
127g, I will add a note to the recipe!
@@SugarSpunRun thanks x
can I use this same recipe for cupcakes?
Yes you can! :)
Hey I forgot to ask, can I use caster sugar instead of granulated? Do both sugars weigh the same?
Caster sugar will work, but I'm not sure on the weights. I believe caster sugar is a bit heavier.
I have 9 inch cake tins how much extra on each ingredient would you recommend please
You can use the same recipe. Bake time will be slightly reduced and your cakes will be slightly thinner. :)
Could I do the reverse creaming method for this cake?
I haven't tried it, but I think it would be doable here. :)
Hi chef 🧑🍳 this cake I would like to bake it looks so good BUT it’s to big can we make it smaller ex::only 2 instead of 3 floor thank thank you 🙏 ❤
You can make it two layers. You’ll want to cut the ingredients by 33%. Some of the measurements may be tough to reduce that way so you may just want to discard any excess batter
Would you be willing to do a one later reciepe version for this cake please? (I am not good at math so I can't just figure it by "half" ing the reciepe. Lol. Please?
O! If you’re looking for a smaller cake, check out my white cake. It’s the same recipe without the sprinkles. 😊 sugarspunrun.com/the-best-white-cake-recipe/
@@SugarSpunRun thank you🙂
Could this be prepared in a 9x13 pan?
I don’t see why not :)
Do you have a recipe for a smaller size cake?
I do not. It can just be scaled down to suit your needs. :)
@@SugarSpunRunhow do you scale down/up? I’m trying to make a 3 layer 10” and 3 layer 12”
Sam, can I use duck eggs? Will the whites beat up like the whites in chicken eggs? I have honestly never tried…
I haven't tried this either, so I really can't say. I know duck eggs are larger though, so it will be difficult to know how many to use.
9 tablespoon of butter is how many grams?
127 😊
Hi chef👩🍳 this cake looks delicious but I have a request …can you make this cake smaller cause it way to big for us and I don’t want to freeze thank you for your answer 🙏♥️exemple…… 2 cake only
Hi! Yes, make my white cake instead and add sprinkles. That recipe is the same as this one, only scaled down to be a 2 layer cake: ua-cam.com/video/bIpUxYd8gqY/v-deo.html
A tablespoon of butter is 14,2 grams
Has anyone tried this with Almond extract in place of vanilla?
You could use almond extract but you'll want to use less as it's much more potent. :)
Yummy 😋 from Barbara
Thank you!
So what's 9 tablespoons in grams or mils? Or do I just scoop 9 tablespoons out of the block of butter lol
Sorry I missed that one! It’s 127g. I have updated the description. 😊
@SugarSpunRun Thank you lovely 😍
Can the recipe be reduced for a smaller batch?
Yes, or you can just toss some sprinkles into my white cake recipe. That's the same as this cake, but with two layers instead of three 😊
you are just so stinkin cute.
I’d rather not have bright white cake… never… never imitation vanilla 😝
Totally fair! The tip is for people who are looking for bright white, but true vanilla works equally well. I often use my homemade vanilla. ☺️
Where's the eggs
You need 9 egg whites here. You can see them being used in the video.
Hi Sam how are you I’m Laura I’m going to make this😢
I hope you love the cake Laura! 💕
For the. Size of your cake , it needed much more filling in it . When you showed us the slice it looked all sponge and very little filling
You are welcome to use more frosting between the layers, the recipe makes plenty. Feel free to adjust the amount as you like, I did not want more than shown as I put quite a bit on top for decoration and didn’t want the amount of frosting to be overwhelming ☺️
Hate the "music"! Love the vid.
Thank you for the feedback!
