Ingredients

For the Loaf:

1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
3 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sprinkles, plus more for garnish

For the Glaze:

1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

For the Cake:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a large loaf pan by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes.)
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat into the sugar and butter mixture until just incorporated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until just mixed together.
Add the sprinkles and fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Once you remove the loaf from the oven, it is very important to leave it in the pan. Place the pan onto a wire cooling rack. Leave the cake to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and allow to fully cool before serving.

For the Glaze:

Whisk together the confectioner's sugar and milk until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Top with the sprinkles to garnish.
