1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups whole milk
Ingredient note
Plain whole milk has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid whole milk, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ cup neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
½ cup sour cream
Ingredient note
Plain sour cream has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid sour cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar

For the frosting

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
Ingredient note
Butter is almost all fat and has no fiber, so the amount here (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per serving) leaves very little residue. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
3–4 tbsp heavy cream
Ingredient note
Plain heavy cream has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid heavy cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt

For serving

rainbow sprinkles (optional)
