Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.

Grease a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well-mixed. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and white sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs and extracts for 1 minute, then beat in the yogurt until just combined.

Add half of the dry ingredients, beat until just combined, then the milk, then remaining half of the dry ingredients.

Stir in the sprinkles to your personal preference, adding more or less as desired.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to smooth the batter down to be completely even.

Bake for 28-35 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the raspberry buttercream frosting.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and 4 cups of powdered icing sugar for 2 minutes.

Add the optional cream and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

Add the raspberries and beat until the raspberries are broken down and no large pieces remain in the frosting.

Spread the frosting over the cooled cake with an offset spatula and then garnish with sprinkles.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs, butter, sour cream, and milk to room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth batter emulsification and a tender, even crumb structure throughout the cake.
Sprinkle Timing Trick 🎨
Toss rainbow sprinkles in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and bleeding color into the cake.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Mix only until ingredients are just combined after adding flour—overmixing develops gluten and results in a dense, tough cake instead of the soft, tender texture you want.
Extract Flavor Maximization 🌿
Use both vanilla and almond extracts as specified—the almond extract adds subtle depth and complexity that elevates the cake beyond basic vanilla, making it taste noticeably more premium.
Proper Pan Preparation 🧈
Grease your pans with butter and dust with flour, then line the bottoms with parchment paper to guarantee easy removal and perfectly level cake layers for stacking and frosting.
