  • Place the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt into a medium sized bowl. Whisk and set aside.
  • Add unsalted butter and granulated sugar in a bowl of an electric mixer. Mix the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is while incorporated and fluffy. (Roughly 1.5 minutes)
  • Place the egg, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a measuring cup. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Stir in half of the flour mixture and half of the liquid mixture. Once fully incorporated. Turn off the mixer and add the remaining flour mixture and liquid mixture.
  • Beat on medium speed into the batter is well mixed.
  • Add the sprinkles. Once added, stir the cake batter by hand with a spatula.
  • Evenly distribute the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake pan.
  • Cool the mini funfetti cake completely, before frosting.

For the American Buttercream:

  • Place the room temperature butter in the electric mix. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add the sifted powdered sugar in small increments. Beat together, and repeat until all powdered sugar is incorporated. (To help with over thickens of the frosting add the 1-2 tablespoons of milk/heavy cream.)
  • Stir in the almond and vanilla extract until combined.
