INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Brush a Baker's Secret Nova Fluted Pan with 1 tablespoon of softened butter and coat the bottom with granulated sugar.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut up the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until it resembles wet sand.
-
Add the oil, yogurt, buttermilk, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and mix until fully combined.
-
Gently mix in the sprinkles until evenly distributed.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
-
Bake the cake for 50-55 minutes or until deeply golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then use a knife to loosen the sides, and turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth.
-
Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, and top with more red, white, and blue sprinkles. Enjoy!
