Equipment

  • 3 6 inch round cake pans
  • 3 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 1 Spatula
  • 5 18" Piping Bags
  • Piping Tips ( Wilton 1M, 32, 67,21)
  • 2 10 inch Cake Board
  • 1 6 inch Cake Board
  • Cake Turntable
  • Offset Spatula
  • Bench Scraper
  • Serrated Knife or Cake Leveler
  • Amazon Bunny Cake Topper Kit with Ear, Feet, Eyes & Nose

Ingredients
  

  • Cake: Use your favorite vanilla cake mix and add rainbow sprinkles to the batter to create the confetti effect.
  • Frosting: Biscoff Creamy Cookie butter, heavy cream, powdered sugar, salted butter, vanilla extract.
  • Decorations: Amazon Kit containing eyes, nose, ears and feet. (Not Edible)
  • 2 1/2 cups Flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp of cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 4 oz vanilla yogurt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups buttermilk room temperature
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup of sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line round pans. Mix together all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch, sugar, and salt) in a stand mixer with a paddle until fully combined.
  • Melt butter and slowly add into the dry mix, on low speed. Continue to mix until no butter remains, and the mixture becomes crumbly. Pour in eggs, one at a time and mix on low until incorporated. 
  • Mix in oil, yogurt and buttermilk in two installments, on low speed. Add in vanilla and mix at low speed until everything is fully incorporated.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then beat on medium high for an additional 20-30 seconds.
  • Add sprinkles to your batter and incorporate into the batter evenly. 
  • Evenly divide that batter between the three round cake pans. If you only have two cake pans pour cake mixture into coated cakes pans and bake your cakes in batches.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then run an offset spatula around the perimeter of the pan to separate the cake from the pan. Place cake layers on wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Tip: For a moist and tender cake, avoid overmixing the batter and don't overbake the layers.
