Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 8x2-inch round cake pans.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer at low speed, alternately add flour mixture and milk. Ending the process with flour mixture. Mix about 1 minute. Add sour cream and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

Fold in rainbow sprinkles. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 5

Remove from oven and let the cakes cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and set in a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Decorate with rosettes by using a pastry bag fitted with the 1M tip.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Step 1

In large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until creamy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar.

To make a decorator frosting, prepare one-half recipe of the above. Beat in 1/4 to 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar. Color as desired with food color; use in a decorator tube.

Chef's Tip
  • For the frosting: to thin, add a few drops of milk; to thicken, add additional powdered sugar.
