  • 1 container (16 oz) vanilla or cream cheese frosting
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for a lighter texture)
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (for decoration)
  • Optional: Crushed candy canes, mini marshmallows, or drizzled chocolate for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter

  2. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, white chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candies (if using). Be careful not to overmix, as the sprinkles may bleed color.

3. Bake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.

4. Make the Frosting

  2. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

5. Decorate

  2. Optional: Add crushed candy canes, mini marshmallows, or drizzle melted chocolate over the top for extra holiday charm.

  3. Perfect as a standalone dessert or paired with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a cozy treat.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Sprinkles: Avoid sprinkles that have been sitting in the pantry for too long, as they may lose their vibrant color or texture.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Try adding chopped nuts, toffee bits, or mini marshmallows for added texture and flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble and decorate the cake ahead of time, then store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Store Properly: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
