1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

Mix The Cake Ingredients & Bake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line two 8 or 9-inch baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the oil, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, and yogurt with an electric mixer.
Add in both flours, the baking powder, and salt. Make sure to spoon and level the flour into your dry measuring cups, don’t scoop straight from the bag.
Beat until you get a smooth batter.
Fold in the sprinkles.
Transfer to your prepared cake pans, keeping them as even as possible.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 20 minutes in the pan, then carefully flip onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Make The Buttercream Frosting

Meanwhile, add the softened butter for the buttercream to a bowl of a stand mixer and beat on low speed for about 3-5 minutes.
Slowly beat in the powdered sugar, then add the milk (as much as needed to reach your desired consistency), vanilla and salt.
Once the cake has cooled, frost and enjoy!
