Another recipe request from Facebook that I was happy to make.
A plain vanilla cake is the perfect canvas for any flavor of sugar frosting you like, a chocolate ganache topping, or simply served with sweet fresh fruits or berries. Since I love chocolate frosting, I used a plain chocolate frosting.
Feel free to use any flavor that you like to customize it to your taste. Of course, we all know that sprinkles makes the cake look extra festive too!
This is perfect for a small celebration, as a sweet reward, or just to serve something sweet to end dinner!
