  • 1½ c sugar
  • 2 ts vanilla extract
  • 6 room temperature egg whites

Whipped Vanilla Buttercream:

Instructions
  1. In the first bowl, sift your dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In the second bowl, whip your wet ingredients together: butter and sugar.
  3. Sprinkle in your sugar when the butter and sugar are soft and fluffy {3-5 minutes later}.
  4. Blend in the vanilla and egg whites.
  5. Blend in your milk.
  6. Combine the first {dry} bowl into your second {wet} bowl in thirds. Mix just to combine {do not over mix} then fold in the sprinkles.
  7. Bake in 2 greased and parchment lined baking pans {8-10″} at 350 for 25-35 minutes.
  8. Cool completely on a baking/cooling rack.
  9. For the buttercream, break up the butter and slowly add in the sifted powdered sugar {measure after sifting}.
  10. Add in the vanilla, salt, and cream. Whip it together until it gets nice and fluffy.
  11. To assemble, brush each cooled layer with simple syrup and spread with buttercream.

Notes
*Several options are given in the video but it would also be cute to line the border with wafer straws, pocky, bunny peeps, etc

Love,

Your Squishy Monster ^.~
