# How To Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, beat 1 cup unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 4 eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then mix in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
04 - Alternately add the flour mixture and 1 cup whole milk to the butter mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour; fold gently until just combined. Fold in 2/3 cup sprinkles without overmixing.
05 - Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans, smooth the tops, and bake at 350°F for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 - Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto the rack and cool completely before assembly.
07 - Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar and blend until incorporated. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 to 3 tablespoons milk to reach a spreadable consistency, and 1/3 cup sprinkles. Chill until ready to use.
08 - Place one cooled cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a thick, even layer of funfetti dip over the surface. Top with the second layer and coat the top and sides with the remaining dip using an offset spatula.
09 - Press extra sprinkles onto the frosted cake and add edible candies if desired. Chill the assembled cake at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before slicing.
10 - Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
