Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds and spray again.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and egg whites until evenly combined. Add the vanilla and milk and whisk until incorporated.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar and salt. Sift in the cake flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix on low speed to incorporate.
- Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter to the dry ingredients, one piece at a time. Continue mixing until a sandy, coarse meal forms, 3-4 minutes.
- With the mixer running on low speed, pour in one-quarter of the wet ingredients at a time and mix to incorporate, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the sprinkles with a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, tapping the pans on the counter a couple of times to release any large air bubbles.
- Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. 8. Set the pans on a wire rack and let the cakes cool completely, about 1 hour. Once cooled, run an offset spatula around the edges of the pans to loosen the cakes, then invert onto the rack and remove the parchment rounds.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer (or in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), whip the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time. Once incorporated, add the cream, vanilla, and salt. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, until the frosting is fluffy.
- Assemble the cake: Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the top of each cake to create a flat surface. Discard the scraps.
- Smear a bit of frosting onto an 8-inch cake round set on top of a cake stand, then place a cake layer on the round. Use a large offset spatula to spread an even layer of frosting over the cake. Place another cake layer on top and frost. Place the last cake layer, bottom-side up, on top and spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake to make the crumb coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, until the frosting is set.
- Generously spread a thick, even layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with the remaining frosting and sprinkles as desired.
- Slice and serve. Cake can be kept at room temperature for 2 hrs and refrigerated for 3 days.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12x18x2-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
- Combine sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping the mixing bowl sides. Add vanilla bean paste and almond extract. Mix well.
- Sift together cake flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Combine milk, cream, and half-and-half in a measuring cup.
- Alternate adding sifted cake flour mixture and liquids to the creamed sugar mixture, 4 to 5 times, until everything is well combined and batter is smooth. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and loosely cover with a piece of foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate with frosting of your choice.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose Your Cake Mix Wisely: Select a cake mix that caters to your preferences and dietary restrictions. For a classic flavor, use a yellow or vanilla cake mix; for a richer taste, opt for a chocolate or red velvet mix; and for a gluten-free option, select a gluten-free cake mix.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best taste and texture. This includes using fresh eggs, milk, and butter (instead of margarine).
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake. If the oven is too hot, the cake may brown too quickly on the outside while remaining uncooked on the inside. If the oven is too cool, the cake may not rise properly.
- Don't Open the Oven Door During Baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Only open the door when necessary, such as to check the cake's doneness.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. If the cake is still warm, the frosting may melt and become runny.

With proper planning, preparation, and execution, creating a delicious and visually appealing breakfast birthday cake is a breeze.

This detailed guide provides you with everything you need to know, from selecting the right cake mix to decorating the cake with flair.
