Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Feeling unsure where to start without making a mess? Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a small baking pan. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until soft and pale.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Not sure how smooth the batter should be? Add eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, mixing gently. Pour in milk and vanilla, then slowly add the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter looks smooth and slightly thick.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Worried about sprinkles bleeding into the batter? Fold the sprinkles in gently at the end using a light hand. Do not overmix. For smaller batches, mix less to keep texture soft; for larger batches, stir evenly so sprinkles spread well.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Unsure when the cake is done baking? Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 25–30 minutes until the top looks golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing so it holds its shape nicely.
