Hey Cats!
This past weekend, I had a family reunion with my dad’s side of the family. We have it every year, and I always love going! It’s great to see my family, plus there’s always really delicious food. I was talking to my dad a couple of days before and he asked me what I was going to bring. “Wait, what?” I’m still used to being a child and not having to bring food, but I guess since I’ve been a responsible adult for a full year, I’m capable of bringing some sort of dish to a function. So, I decided to make one of my favorite recipes that’s beyond easy but also delightful. And I made two, because I wanted to keep one for myself.
Sprinkle Cake!! Y’all. This cake is probably my favorite. It’s simply a pound cake with sprinkles inside! Confession: I only make this to take somewhere when I know I will have plenty to bring home. Not a joke. I like to eat it for breakfast. It’s just SO GOOD. Also, people love it, because it’s fun! You know how people have “signature dishes” that they’re asked to bring to functions? I want this to be mine. “Kristen, bring that sprinkle cake, it’s so good!”. That is my dream.I clearly have too much time on my hands. So anyways, here’s how you make this:
I got this recipe from The Sweet {Tooth} Life, so I can’t really take credit, but I would love to share!
Here’s what you’ll need:
-1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
-1 cup of sugar
-4 eggs
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-2 cups of flour
-1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (I used Jimmies… I honestly hate that they’re called that so much but I couldn’t think of another way to explain them. Ugh Jimmies. Such a stupid name.)
Here’s what you’ll do:
1.First, cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each.
3. Mix in vanilla and salt until fully incorporated.
4. Add flour and stir until smooth!
5. Add the sprinkles and give it another stir
6. Transfer to a buttered & floured loaf pan
7. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour
8. Enjoy!
This is a great quick dessert to bring to an event, or for whenever you feel like something sweetie. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
That’s all for meow!
