Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, plus 4 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup milk, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles for decorating

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  • Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan lightly. Line the bottom and short sides with parchment paper, letting the ends extend over the sides for easier removal after baking.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  • In a stand mixer equipped with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each one is fully mixed in before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  • Beat the mixture on medium speed until it is light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Once the batter is well combined, remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently with an offset spatula.
  • Bake for 60-65 minutes, checking the cake at the 50-minute mark. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
  • The cake is done when it springs back upon gently pressing the top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Using the parchment paper ends, lift the loaf out of the pan and place it on a cooling rack to cool completely.
