The recipe for this simple but oh so tasty vanilla cake with chocolate sprinkles is a hit. Soft butter, crispy crust, and delicious chocolate. Tiptop shape! And only 6 ingredients.
It hails, it hails, large chocolate sprinkles !!! As you can see on the blog recipe index baking cakes is one of my favorite pastimes. Of course, I cook every night and I make lunches and breakfasts, but baking gives me the most pleasure.
I also enjoy baking pies, but I find gaining those extra pounds not very attractive. A cake, however, is often made quickly and I think that it got fewer calories (if I can keep it at least to one thin slice).
Pure, milk or white chocolate sprinkles?
You can, of course, bake your chocolate sprinkles cake with sprinkles made of dark or milk chocolate, but here we are fond of dark, milk, and white chocolate sprinkles. And so I made the choice to use all three chocolate sprinkles in this cake.
Top Tips
- Use all the ingredients at room temperature, therefore your batter (and cake) gets more creamy.
- Rub the cake tin with butter and then coat it with flour. That way you can remove the cake from the tin easier. Remind that you tap out the excess flour from the tin otherwise you get those ugly white patches on the outside.
- Leave the cake to rest for five minutes after baking. The cake will shrink a bit when it cools down. After this rest period, you can remove the mold better.
