Confetti celebration cake

Method

1. Start. Make batter and fold in sprinkles with only 2–3 strokes.Watch for: Cut through the center and sweep up the side while rotating the bowl; stop when the last dry streak disappears so you preserve air and tenderness.
2. Then. Divide among three 8-inch pans and bake 22–27 minutes.Watch for: Begin checking at the early end of the range; use the stated color, movement, or internal-temperature cue rather than time alone.
3. Finish. Level, fill, crumb-coat, chill, and finish.Watch for: Keep it covered during the rest; move on only when it is evenly cool or firm, including at the center. Keep components level and leave edges clean; uneven thickness shows up as uneven setting and slices.
