Ingredients
Steps
Preheat your oven and prepare a sheet cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake base ingredients including the flour, sugar, and cornstarch.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, including the water, buttermilk, and one tablespoon of clear vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the Jimmy Sprinkles (rainbow sprinkles) into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed but not over-mixed to prevent bleeding.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by beating together equal parts vegetable shortening and unsalted butter.
Gradually add powdered sugar and additional clear vanilla extract to the frosting mixture until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top and garnish with more sprinkles if desired.
Notes
The use of clear vanilla extract and a 50/50 split of shortening and butter in the frosting is what provides the specific 'grocery store' bakery flavor profile. Using Jimmy-style sprinkles is critical as they are designed not to bleed their colors into the white cake batter during baking.
