Full recipe (w/ frosting) at the link in my bio or at https://sugarandsparrow.com/funfetti-sheet-cake/ 

INGREDIENTS 
2 1/2 Cups (265g) sifted cake flour 
2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
1 tsp salt 
3/4 Cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temp 
1 3/4 Cup (340g) granulated white sugar 
3 large eggs, room temp 
1/2 Cup (120g) sour cream, room temp 
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract 
1 Cup (240ml) whole milk, room temp 
1/3 Cup (60g) rainbow sprinkles, coated in 1 tsp flour 
 
INSTRUCTIONS 
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163ºC). Grease and line a 9×13 baking pan. 
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.  
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a large bowl and hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 4 min. Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream and mix for one minute on high speed. 
4. Turn the mixer off and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until just combined, then add the milk and mix until just incorporated.  
5. Coat the rainbow sprinkles in 1 teaspoon of flour, then gently fold them into the cake batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the baking dish until room temperature, then decorate with vanilla buttercream + rainbow sprinkles (full recipe link in bio!)
