Confetti Cake (yield: 1 8-in round cake) Confetti Cake 3 eggs, room temp 2 1/4 c (450g) sugar 8 oz (227g) butter, melted and cooled 1/4 c (50g) vegetable oil 3.5 c (420g) cake flour, sifted 1.5 tsp (6g) baking powder 1 tsp (6g) fine salt 1.5 c (341g) milk, room temp 1 tsp clear vanilla extract 1/2 tsp almond extract 1/2 c (90g) rainbow sprinkles 1. Using a whisk or the whisk attachment on a mixer, mix the eggs and sugar until thick, lightened in color, and approximately tripled in volume. 2. Stream in the melted and cooled butter and oil while mixing on medium speed. 3. Add one third of the dry ingredients, mix until combined, and add half of the wet ingredients. 4. Mix in another third of the dry, the rest of the wet, and finally the last third of the dry. Stop mixing as soon as you can't see any dry flour. 5. Add the rainbow sprinkles and mix in by hand. 6. Divide evenly between 2 8-in round cake pans that have been prepped with a circle of parchment paper and non-stick spray. 7. Bake at 350F (180C) for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs. 8. Let the cakes cool completely before cutting off the tops, dividing in half, and stacking with the frosting. Frosting 8 oz (227g) butter, softened 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened 4 c (454g) powdered sugar, sifted 1 tsp (6g) fine salt 2 Tbsp (28g) heavy cream 1 tsp clear vanilla extract 1. Mix together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy and lightened in color. 2. Add the powdered sugar in 3-4 additions. 3. Mix in the salt, heavy cream, and clear vanilla extract. Note: this frosting recipe makes enough for a semi-naked finish to the cake. For a completely frosted cake, multiply the recipe x1.5.

cooking is just edible chemistry, & science is cool!

As someone who learns a bit better when they have visuals, I find that your videos are amazing at helping me. Not only do you show what things should look like, you also show what they shouldn’t look like and explain what went wrong for that to happen. Thank you so much for the awesome tutorials :)

@@garethkalum8297 Baking is literally chemistry: measurements have to be exact or the whole thing could end up messed up because you added half a cup of sugar instead of 5/8’s cup of sugar. When cooking, measurements like “One tablespoon of salt, one teaspoon pepper” basically means “add more salt than pepper” and nothing’s ever set in stone. You can omit just about anything and the dish is still fine. The physics comes from Physics requiring a great deal of precision to properly calculate anything at all but most teachers will say “drag is irrelevant” or just cut out half the laws to teach you one.

Eh, it's less of that than you'd think. I wing baking all the time. The trouble is not being able to taste the food. So I can tell that I need to add more flour because the dough is too sticky, for example. I do think it helps that I do all my mixing by hand, helps me really feel the dough and understand it better.

I really appreciate how you go through the effort to include your recipe - a lot of times on cooking/baking KZread people make the best looking things but never include how they made it! I know it’s extra effort but it’s so so appreciated

Will definitely be trying this!! Your videos are more useful than any recipe book I've read!

I love your channel , baking makes a bit more sense to me now and you don’t over complicate it .

All of your comments remark on how helpful and novel these mini-lessons are, I've never seen any channel get such a universally positive reaction!

I absolutely appreciate the fact that you make these videos for people like me who at 53 can barely bake a cake let alone do it right.. The funniest part is that my mom was a professional caterer and 100% Italian, who could fix an entire spread out of three ingredients!! Pray for me 😁

I love funfetti cake!! The rainbow inside brings me joy!

This is like finally learning why grandma's cake has always been better than mine. It's truly cathartic. Thank you for explaining the smaller details of baking, us novices have never considered.

I'm 100% sure you hear this every video, but the fact that you show the results of each different situation is unique and captivating in a way that I've never seen on KZread besides super high budget studio channels. Well done, you've earned my, and a lot of other people's likes.

I like how you tell us what every thing does, instead of just “DONT DO THIS”

Idk why but I love the oversized texture? The gummy texture just makes it so yummy

I know people say this all the time but you’re SO UNDERRATED WHAT THE HECK THANK YOU YOURE AMAZING

The way the confetti is perfectly spaced throughout the cake is sending me

Your videos have helped me so much! I always wondered why my cakes came out a bit gummy until I found these explanations

thank you for all this effort, this type of visual makes a big difference!

This dude is saving so many people who need to see the instructions in one video

I love your content! I really appreciate that even though your videos are shorts you still show what can happen if you make different mistakes. It makes trouble shooting easier and I love it

the first person to ever bake a cake must've had the most patience in history

Man that cake looks so airy and fluffy and that buttercream looks so light and soft. I bet it was soooo good. 🍰🤤🍰🤤🍰🤤

These videos honestly make baking look possible for me who fears itand feels nice for beginners

Damnit. I didn’t realize you can undermix. This explains a lot, thanks.

You are Very Good at conveying the information quickly and effectively!

Ok but like why is this the great British baking show music, hahaha😂😂😂 that’s awesome!

This channel is literally so helpful!

I never rarely bake, but I confidently bought confetti cake mix and whipped frosting cause I figured you’d have a vid on how to perfect it. Thank you 🫶🏾

Wow I love the recipe!! I've been dying to find the *perfect* confetti cake and I believe this is it! I'm so happy to have found your channel. Thank u Ben, I subbed! 😊🥰🙏

Cooking is such a science but your videos are super helpful

THIS IS SO USEFUL I always wondered why it sometimes comes out different when I do the exact same thing every time but I had a suspicion it had to do with this. Thank you!!

now every-time i eat food i think of the ways you make them, it’s quite going over the scenarios in my head

I guarantee that you could under-mix the first time and over-mix the second time and everybody would praise you for how amazingly yummy your cake is

That cake look delicious tho!!! I’ve never actually payed attention to the amount of mixing i thought you just mix till it looks good.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea eggs and sugar were supposed to look like that. And I bake a lot. Thanks, man!

Thank you so much! I'm really learning a lot from your channel ❤️

That is a great explanation of the mixing process - I honestly always wondered why you "gradually mix in wet and dry ingredients" in a recipe 👍

Your videos are always so informative and there’s so much effort put into them. Truly appreciate you!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the Great British Baking Show music that he uses

Definitely trying this today. Thank u SOOO MUCH for typing up the recipe & making it that much easier ! ❤🎉 .

confetti cake is soooo underrated and delicious i’d prefer this sometimes over any other cake 🍰

Love ❤️ ❣️ the baking contrast video 📹.

Now I understand why the cake I made was so fluffy! Sometimes they're not, and now it makes sense. Thanks for pointing this out!

I can't believe I never knew this and I've been cooking for 20 years!! Thank you for explaining this!!

Your videos reinforce in me my desire *not* to bake. I like improvising with ingredients and cooking styles and baking is so precise it almost makes me anxious.

Awesome! That swirl technique was nice to see! 🎉🎉🎉

I love that this guy uses music from the great British bake off 😭❤️❤️

I love your baking videos and the visuals you put out for them, they are very helpful! :)

It is just me who noticed how he put the great British baking show music as the audio I love it

When I saw you stack the layers I subscribed - your cake looks absolutely perfect!!! 💯

I've never been a cake fan but that does look really really good! It's so pretty :)

Dude you literally made me hungry with this one. I’d learn to bake if bed wasn’t so comfy

I never loved vanilla cakes made with oil but these do look good

Once I’m in a relationship, hopefully eventually, i plan on baking a lot so I am watching all your videos in preparation for that

That final product thoughhhhh! 🔥🥵

Thank you 3 eggs sugar flower and a $400 mixer now I can cook

I never thought to whip the sugar and eggs for my banana bread. I always wondered why it seemed so heavy. Thank you for this!

WOW, that looks so delicious 🤤. Thank you for the tip. I always wondered why when I back at home the cake doesn’t turn out to look as good as the ones in bakeries 😅.

Love me some confetti cake! 🤗😋 Tip from my mother regarding adding eggs when baking. She always cracks one at a time in a separate bowl, then adds to mix. That way, in case there is "blood," you don't waste all the other ingredients. 🫢

I’m not even all that into cake but after seeing this I definitely want some.

My mans out here dabbing on top of the Pillsbury Dough-boy's head. That's a real nice not-Funfetti™ cake.

I’ve always sucked at vanilla cakes but trying out your recipe and technique today!! ❤

Thank you so much . I’ll be making this in a few weeks for my daughter’s 7th birthday 🎂

you just *HAD* to make me watch this right before brain surgery (Tests show the patient will never fully recover! ) ;((

Baking is such an intimidating science.

That looks scrumptious 😭

Here I do prefer the fluffy texture, so I will be careful to not mix too little or too much

Iam biting my phone that fluffy cloudy perfectly cooked cake looks delicious ❤

Everyone needs a baker in their friend group

This man makes like 6 cakes per video. That sounds like the perfect life tbh

Oh so the colors were color sparkles!, I always wondered what they were whenever you made cupcakes

i love confetti cake flavored anything its an obsession

This looks perfect and now has got me craving some cake 😭😭

I first learned over mixing was a thing from the try guys cake video omg glad this explains why it comes out so weird!!!

This video just made me so happy 😊

That is the best cake I’ve ever seen.

I so have to make this today,… Thank you for the full detailed recipe 🫶🏼

Thank you for lettingnme know what I was doing wrong with my cakes! I never realised that I overmixed the flour

now this is an awesome tutorial / explanation

This looks divine! 🥰🎉🍰🎉🍰🎉

ngl i’d eat just the batter that stuff is DELICIOUS

i love these videos so much and i want to learn how to bake so so badly because of these

You teach me so much about cooking, thank you sensei.

That cake looks AMAZING.

When "just mix it in" gets way more complicated than you thought :D

I have seen this cake before… in a Reddit video. Glad I got to see the original post though.

Ah yes, the over and under mixing dilemma, my greatest culinary enemy

Ngl your videos are so goood it makes me feel like I could bake
