  3. Pour milk and vanilla into bowl then stir gently until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Fold flour carefully into batter until thick soft texture develops without overmixing ingredients heavily.
  5. Stir rainbow sprinkles lightly through batter to prevent colors bleeding during baking inside cake.

Notes

Bake slightly less for softer moist cake or longer for firmer slices with crispier edges. Freeze unfrosted cake layers tightly wrapped for up to two months without losing texture. Handle cooled layers carefully while frosting to prevent crumbling around delicate edges. Add citrus zest, chocolate chips, or flavored extracts for customization. Store leftovers covered tightly up to four days.
