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

Stir in vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.

Fold in rainbow sprinkles gently until evenly distributed.

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.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top.

Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Decorate with additional rainbow sprinkles on top.
