The Perfect Holiday Cake Recipe by Clinton Kelly

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/4 cup of red and green sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk until everything is well combined.
4. Gently fold in the sprinkles to the batter, being careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, decorate the cake with your favorite holiday toppings, such as candy canes, cranberries, or chocolate chips.

Tips and Tricks:

• For an extra festive touch, use red and green food coloring in the batter for a marbled effect.
• If you don't have any sprinkles on hand, you can also use chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
• Don't overmix the batter as this can result in a dense and tough cake. Use a gentle folding motion to incorporate the ingredients.
• Feel free to experiment with different flavors, such as almond extract or lemon zest, to add your own unique twist to the recipe.
