Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour Provides essential structure; ensure accurate measurement for best results.
  • 1 cup cornstarch Enhances tenderness, giving the cake a soft texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cake rise properly.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted) Adds richness and moisture; substitute with dairy-free butter for a vegan option.
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar Sweetens the cake while contributing to its soft texture.
  • 1 large egg Provides moisture and binds ingredients together; can substitute with a flax egg for a vegan version.
  • 1 large egg yolk Further enriches the cake's texture.
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract Adds that signature funfetti flavor; can replace with additional vanilla extract if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Complements the almond flavor, adding a sweet aroma to the cake.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Offers creamy sweetness; optional for a simpler cookie cake.
  • ½ cup sprinkles Brightens the cake and adds a delightful texture; avoid nonpareils to prevent bleeding into the batter.

  • 4 cups powdered sugar Adds sweetness and structure to the frosting; adjust to your taste preference.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and coat a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in white chocolate chips and sprinkles.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 26-32 minutes until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. To prepare the frosting, beat together softened butter, almond extract, and milk until smooth. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and a pinch of salt.
  8. Once the cake is cool, spread the buttercream frosting generously over the top and decorate with extra sprinkles.
