There are birthday cakes and there are birthday cakes that make people genuinely excited the moment they appear at the table. Vanilla Funfetti Cake is firmly in the second category. Those rainbow sprinkles suspended through every soft, fluffy crumb create a visual effect that is simultaneously childlike and genuinely beautiful — every single slice reveals a different pattern of colour and nobody, at any age, looks at it without smiling. I started making this from scratch several years ago when I realised that boxed funfetti cake had set an extremely low bar and convinced everyone that funfetti was supposed to taste that …
