Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.

Fold in rainbow sprinkles gently to avoid breaking them.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting by whipping heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

If desired, add food coloring to the frosting to match the celebration theme.

Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Decorate with additional rainbow sprinkles on top and around the sides.
