Equipment

  • three 8-inch round cake pans
  • electric mixer
  • wire racks

Ingredients

For the Funfetti Cake
  • 2 3/4 cups Cake Flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Salt
  • 3/4 cup Dairy Free Butter, Softened
  • 1/4 cup Neutral Oil
  • 1 2/3 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Egg Whites
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Soy Milk
  • 3/4 cup Rainbow Jimmies
For the Vanilla Frosting
  • 1 1/2 cups Dairy Free Butter, Softened
  • 5 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Soy Milk
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Fine Salt
  • 1/4 cup Rainbow Jimmies

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and lightly coat the sides with neutral oil.
  2. Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla extract and almond extract into the soy milk.
  3. Beat the dairy free butter, neutral oil, and granulated sugar for 3 minutes, until very light. Beat in the egg whites and whole egg in several additions, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the soy milk in two additions. Toss the rainbow jimmies with 1 teaspoon of the measured flour mixture before gently folding them into the finished batter.
  5. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 21 to 25 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly. Cool the layers in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Beat the dairy free butter for 3 minutes. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, soy milk, vanilla extract, and salt until the frosting is light and smooth.
  7. Stack the cooled layers with vanilla frosting between them. Frost the top and sides, decorate with the remaining rainbow jimmies, and let the cake set for 20 minutes before slicing.
