What you'll need for this recipe:

For the Cake:
2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
1 cup sprinkles (rainbow jimmies are traditional!)

For the Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3-4 cups (360-480g) powdered sugar
⅓ cup (80ml) milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Extra sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions (detailed steps are also shown in the video tutorial):

1. Preparing the Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. This prevents sticking and ensures a clean release. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2. Creaming Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is best done with an electric mixer. The goal is to incorporate air for a light and airy cake.

3. Adding Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined before moving on.

4. Alternating Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk and oil. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined – don't overmix!

5. Incorporating the Sprinkles: Gently fold in the sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to broken sprinkles.

6. Baking the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Making the Buttercream Frosting: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. Beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

8. Frosting the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of buttercream. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.

9. Decorating: Sprinkle with extra sprinkles for an extra touch of festive flair! You can also get creative with different piping techniques or even add fresh fruit.

Tips for Success:
Use room temperature ingredients for optimal mixing and texture.
Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
Let the cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
Get creative with your decorations! Use different colored sprinkles, fresh fruit, or even edible flowers.

Troubleshooting:
Cake is dry: You may have overbaked it. Next time, check for doneness earlier.
Cake is dense: You may have overmixed the batter. Try mixing only until combined next time.
Frosting is too thick: Add a little more milk. Too thin? Add more powdered sugar.
