In times where big parties are no longer happening, this is a small Confetti Cake worthy of small celebrations. You can cut either 9 or 12 servings, and you can add the sprinkles as we suggest here, or top it with fruit like strawberries before baking.

The cake is delicious as is, without any frosting, but since we were feeling a bit festive, we added the whipped cream frosting we still had from our Carrot Pancake Cake recipe from a few weeks before. When we finished the Carrot Pancake Cakes, we still had some of the frosting left, so we stored it in sealable bags flat in the freezer.

We defrosted the frosting inside the fridge (not on the counter) and before using, transfer to a mixing bowl and whip for about 3-4 minutes, stopping every minute or so to make sure that the frosting on the sides of the bowl is also being whipped!

Top the completely cooled cake with the whipped frosting and decorate with additional sprinkles!
