How to Make No-Bake Fairy Bread Slice

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
¾ cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies, not nonpareils, for baking)

For the Pink Frosting:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pink food coloring (a few drops)
½ cup rainbow nonpareil sprinkles (for topping)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Prepare the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix to keep the cake fluffy.
Add the Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a spatula, being careful not to overmix, which can cause the colors to bleed.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Make the Pink Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of cream. Beat until light and fluffy, adding the remaining cream if needed. Stir in pink food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
Frost and Decorate: Spread the pink frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Generously sprinkle the top with rainbow nonpareils for that extra pop of color and fun!
Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and serve at room temperature. Perfect for birthdays, parties, or any day you need a sweet pick-me-up!
