Easy Homemade Funfetti Cake with Vanilla Buttercream
"The recipe is as close to cake mix Funfetti that I've been able to replicate at home. I love that stuff, but it's nice to be able to pronounce all the ingredients and make a scratch cake in literally 5 minutes. This easy, no mixer cake is adapted my favorite buttermilk cake base that I’ve used for so many cakes. I love the cake base because it’s fast and easy to make, and the cakes always turn out supremely moist, springy, and fluffy thanks to buttermilk, sour cream, and oil. That trifecta of moisturizing and tenderizing ingredients makes it impossible to have a dry cake. Between the sprinkles in the batter and a nice wall of sprinkles on the buttercream, you'll be in sprinkle overload, such a beautiful thing...."
