Colorful cake
A classic recipe for people who love cake and enjoy baking
Having finished all school work, sophomore Savannah Beydoun bakes a colorful cake. “I loved putting on the frosting, the sprinkles were so much fun,” sister Samantha Nowak said. It is in the family’s calendar to try this recipe again with new frostings.
With all of these new and complicated cakes that can scramble a baker’s brain, it’s pleasurable to bake a traditional and enjoyable recipe.
Prep time is 15 minutes; but for any experienced cake baker, it’s a breeze and a fraction of the time. The recipe also calls for convenient ingredients, which are typically already in the cabinet. This saves from an unwanted trip to the grocery store.
It was a pleasant discovery to find the cake moist and soft after baking. A dry and crumbly cake can be a cake lover’s worst nightmare. Another flaw could’ve been not making enough to feed all the members of the household. Luckily with this recipe, that wasn’t the case; the proportions fed 5 hungry mouths.
Artistic creativity includes a large plus to this recipe. Enjoy decorating the cake for any type of celebration—whether it’s for a birthday, a holiday or to just eat a delicious cake. Design this cake with any frosting and sprinkles the baker desires. The color combinations for the frosting and sprinkles never end.
Most frostings combine amazing with this cake. Some frosting options include: buttercream, cream cheese, chocolate, whipped cream, glaze, fondant and more.
