1 cup vegetable oil
1.5 cups granulated white sugar
4 large eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups cake flour + 2 Tablespoons OR 3 cups all purpose white flour + 2 TB cornstarch whisked together
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk I used 2%
¼ cup sprinkles jimmies or quins work best

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray and flour a 10" bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla until combined.
1 cup vegetable oil, 1.5 cups granulated white sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3 cups cake flour + 2 Tablespoons, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Then, add the milk and stir until combined.
1 cup milk
Lastly, add the rest of the dry ingredients and sprinkles and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes before inverting on a cooling rack.
While the cake is cooling, make the icing by adding the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisking until smooth.
1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Once the cake has completely cooled, pour the icing over the top.
Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
¼ cup sprinkles

Use room temperature eggs and milk for best results.
Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling it off—don’t scoop directly.
No cake flour? Mix 3 cups all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons cornstarch as a substitute.
Want a white glaze? Use clear vanilla extract. Regular vanilla will tint it slightly brown.
