Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla.
Alternately add the buttermilk and the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Be sure to scrape the bowl as needed. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until a crumbly texture forms. Then, mix in the vanilla and salt, adding heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached. Stir in sprinkles.
Frost the cooled cake with the prepared frosting and top with additional sprinkles. It's easiest to use an offset spatula for this process. Store loosely covered for up to 2 days.
This recipe is versatile; it can also make 24 cupcakes, two 9-inch round cakes, or three 8-inch round cakes.

Notes

Make sure your eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature for best results.
You can customize the sprinkles to match any theme or occasion!
If you want a richer frosting, use less cream to make it thicker.
