INGREDIENTS

  • Cake base

    • 1 (15.25-ounce) package white cake mix
    • 🥛 1 cup whole buttermilk
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 6 drops soft pink food coloring gel

  • Frosting

    • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
    • 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter
    • 4 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with baking spray; set aside.

2

Whisk together cake mix, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and food coloring in a medium bowl until fully combined and no dry streaks remain. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and spread in an even layer.

3

Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.

4

Beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.

5

Gradually beat in powdered sugar with mixer on low speed until smooth and fully combined, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and salt and beat until just combined.

6

Using an offset spatula, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with sprinkles, if desired.

7

Cut into squares and serve.
