Addie's Confetti Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat three 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, shortening, or butter and flour them, taking care to shake out excess flour.

2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and shortening until light and fluffy. Slowly add the sugar 1 cup at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each cup before adding another. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding another.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the milk, buttermilk, and vanilla into a measuring cup and whisk together with a fork. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

4. Mix on low speed until well combined, scraping down the sies and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the sprinkles and mix to incorporate.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the cake pans and place them in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and let cool slightly in the pans for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

6. Spread the cake gently with the frosting and decorate with extra sprinkles.
