Sprinkle Birthday Cake

August 4, 2019 This post may contain affiliate links.

Celebrate a special birthday with this Sprinkle Birthday Cake. This deliciously moist white cake is frosted with homemade buttercream, topped with chocolate ganache drips and is decorated with lots of rainbow colored sprinkles.

Sprinkle Birthday Cake

Any birthday girl or boy, no matter their age, will love this festive birthday cake.

The three layers of made-from-scratch white cake are filled with creamy homemade buttercream frosting. You can add as many colorful sprinkles to the outside cake as you like but be sure to leave room for some yummy chocolate ganache drips at the top.

I love a good white cake, actually more than I like chocolate cake, which seams strange considering my affinity for chocolate. So for this recipe, I tried out quite a few white cake recipes until I found the one that produced the best flavor and texture.

Sprinkle coated chocolate drip birthday cake cut open revealing the layers of white cake inside.

The cake is moist and tender just as you’d hope and when layered with homemade buttercream it’s really flavorful. I added a splash of almond extract to both the cake and frosting but you can always swap out vanilla if you prefer.

Being I do love chocolate so much, I decided the cake needed a bit of that too so I added some drips of chocolate ganache for looks and flavor.

Head on over to Dixie Crystals to see the recipe and instructions.

      I hope you enjoy it! The cake with the almond extract tastes a little like a decorated sugar cookie. If you aren’t a fan of almond extract you can use vanilla instead. Clear vanilla will give you a bright white cake while brown vanilla will change the color of the cake slightly.

    If I make this in a 9″ cake pan, would I double the recipes?

      Each of the layers used about 2 cups of batter and I’m finding information that suggests using 5 cups of batter in each of the 9 inch cake pans so if you want 3 layers doubling the recipe should work but if you want thicker layers you might want to make 2 1/2 of the recipe. Let me know how it turns out.

        Thanks for the information! My neighbors are hoping I could make them a half cake with the extra layer if I am not using it! LOL
