Categories     dessert, snack

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 cups flour
2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
2 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup oil
1 cup milk (plus 2 tablespoons for frosting)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (plus 1 teaspoon for frosting)
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
8 to 10 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients. Add 2 cups of white sugar, 2 cups of flour, 2 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder, 2 ¼ teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and mix until well combined.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time.
  • Mix in ¾ cup of oil, and then 1 cup of milk. Continue mixing, and add in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract. Be sure not to over-mix the batter.
  • Once the batter is ready, prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Add a rectangular piece of parchment paper into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter over top.
  • Bake the birthday cake for 30 minutes until the top is lightly golden brown and fully set. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and set aside to allow it to fully cool.
  • To make the frosting for the birthday cake, add 2 sticks of softened butter into a mixing bowl. Whip the butter until fluffy, and then add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and the 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix the butter and sugar with the milk, and then add in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue gradually adding remaining powdered sugar and mix until the frosting comes together. Once formed, turn the speed up on the mixer to whip the frosting until fluffy.
  • Once your cake is fully cooled, place it on a large rectangular cake stand, a platter, or a cardboard cake board. If desired, it can remain in the pan as well. Add a generous amount of frosting on top, and then frost the sides. Frost your cake using a flat spatula or use a piping bag fitted with an icer tip to fully cover it. Smooth the frosting with an icing scraper or flat spatula. Use food coloring to color a portion of the frosting, and put the frosting in a piping bag. Cut off the tip and carefully write "Happy Birthday!" in the middle of the cake.
  • Top the cake with plenty of sprinkles and add a top and bottom border with a piping tip to finish decorating.
