A fluffy birthday sheet cake made with plugrabutter! #ad Plugra’s European Style butter is the perfect way to elevate an especially celebratory bake. In this cake, the high butterfat content of Plugra’s butter comes through in the fluffy cake, buttery sprinkle crunch and the incredibly billowy buttercream 😍

Recipe is adapted from cupcakeproject’s vanilla cake (which won my vanilla cake bake off)!

For the cake, I scaled up the original cake to 1.5x (ingredient amounts below; you can find the step by step directions on cupcakeproject’s site for her vanilla cake).

2.5 cups + 2 tbsp cake flour
2 ¼ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp kosher salt
1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp unsalted plugrabutter, softened
6 tbsp neutral oil
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
½ cup sour cream, room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract

*Tip: if you forgot to bring your ingredients to room temperature, you can microwave the milk and sour cream together for 20 seconds. You can also soak your eggs in hot water for 5 minutes to take the chill off!

For the sprinkle crumb:

1 cup cake flour
3.5 tbsp sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sprinkles
3.5 tbsp unsalted plugrabutter, melted 
1 tsp vanilla

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and sprinkles. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla until you have a small, evenly moistened crumbs. Bake at 350 for 15 min, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool completely before using.

For the frosting:

12 tbsp unsalted plugrabutter, softened but cool
2 oz cream cheese, softened but cool
3 cups powdered sugar
1.5 tsp vanilla 
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp heavy cream or milk

Add the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt to the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low to combine, then increase speed to medium high and whip for 2 minutes until very light and creamy. If you want the frosting a bit looser, add up to 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk and mix again until smooth.
