Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 13 x 18-inch (33 x 45 cm) rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Add the butter and granulated sugar to a large bowl and cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.
- Add a third of the dry ingredients, followed by half of the buttermilk, another third of the dry ingredients, remaining buttermilk, and remaining dry ingredients, beating well after each addition. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread evenly.
- Bake until the cake is light golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-22 minutes. Set the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the cake cool completely before frosting.
- While the cake is cooling, make the buttercream frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed for 30 seconds to incorporate. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes, stopping as necessary to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until fluffy. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt and beat on medium speed for another 2 minutes, or until the buttercream is no longer grainy. If desired, continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes for a fluffier consistency.
- Assemble the cake: Use the parchment to lift the cake from the pan onto a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the cake in half crosswise. Spread about half of the buttercream across one half of the cake. Place the other cake half on top of the buttercream, top down, and gently press down to adhere. Peel off the parchment lining. Spread the remaining buttercream evenly over the top layer of cake, reserving some buttercream for coloring, if desired. Decorate with colored buttercream, more sprinkles, or edible flowers as desired.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the buttercream is firm. Using a very sharp knife, trim the edges of the sheet cake for clean lines. Slice crosswise into 8 strips, then slice in half vertically for 16 bars, running the knife under warm water and drying between cuts if desired for cleaner lines.
- Store the cake bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until super light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating in between additions. Beat the batter until almost doubled in volume and very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, gently beat in a third of the flour mixture. Before it's fully combined, add half of the buttermilk mixture. Repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk until everything is well-blended and no lumps remain.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray 3 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pans with nonstick spray.
- Add ½ cup (80 g) of sprinkles and gently fold into the batter with a spatula until well-incorporated.
- Divide the cake batter among the prepared pans and place 2 pans on the top oven rack and 1 pan on the middle rack.
- Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the pan on the middle rack to the top rack, and vice versa, halfway through baking, so the cakes bake evenly. The cakes are done when they are golden brown, pull away from the sides of the pans, and the tops spring back slightly when pressed.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (If you don't have a wire rack, let them cool in the cake pans on the counter.)
- Make the frosting: In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on high speed to beat the butter, cream cheese, and salt. Mix until light and creamy, about 4 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed to combine. Once the sugar is incorporated, beat on high speed until there are no lumps and the frosting is super white and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Place a dab of frosting on a cake stand or an inverted plate. Place a layer of cake on the cake wheel, then evenly spread frosting on top with an offset spatula. Place the next layer of cake on top of the frosted layer, and spread frosting on top. Add the last cake layer and lightly frost the entire outside of the cake to create a thin crumb coat.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator and use the remaining icing to frost the cake in an even layer. Take the end of an offset spatula or knife and gently press it against the against the frosting at the bottom of the cake. Then, spin the cake and slowly raise the spatula after each rotation to create a ribbed effect. Smooth the top of the cake with the spatula.
- Place sprinkles around the edge of the cake. Set a small cookie cutter, any shape you like, in the center of the cake and fill in with sprinkles. Gently remove the cookie cutter.
- Enjoy!
