Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Prepare a large loaf pan by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Set the prepared pan aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and softened butter.
  5. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add the eggs to the butter mixture.
  7. Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture.
  8. Add the milk to the butter mixture.
  9. Beat the wet ingredients into the sugar and butter mixture until just incorporated.
  10. Set the wet mixture aside.

  12. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  13. Beat until just mixed together.
  14. Add the sprinkles to the batter.
  15. Fold the sprinkles into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  16. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  17. Bake for 40-50 minutes.
  18. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; it should come out clean when done.
  19. Remove the loaf from the oven.
  20. Leave the loaf in the pan.
  21. Place the pan onto a wire cooling rack.
  22. Leave the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  23. Remove the cake from the pan.
  24. Allow the cake to fully cool before serving.
  25. To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl.
  26. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  27. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf.
  28. Top with additional sprinkles to garnish.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for best creaming results.
Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to keep the loaf tender.
Use jimmie sprinkles to prevent color bleeding into the batter.
Allow the loaf to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
