A quick and easy confetti sugar cookie cake dotted with pastel sprinkles, perfect for celebrating the first day of school with a cheerful, soft, and sliceable treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (90 grams) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides if needed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a spatula, being careful not to overmix to prevent color bleeding.
  7. Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan using a spatula, smoothing the top lightly.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use sturdy sprinkles like jimmies or nonpareils to avoid color bleeding. Do not overmix the batter to keep the cookie cake soft. Let the cake cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Optional: add powdered sugar glaze or cream cheese frosting for extra flavor.
