A homemade version of confetti cake exists? Say less because ‘90s babies like me are already on board with this amazing dessert! The Pioneer Woman (aka, Ree Drummond) recently shared her recipe for a triple-layer confetti cake that you’re definitely going to want to make for your next birthday party.

In a video posted to Food Network’s YouTube channel, Drummond shares how she makes her delicious Triple Layered Confetti Cake recipe. Start by combining cake flour and other dry ingredients in a bowl. Then, use an electric mixer to mix butter, egg whites, vanilla, and more wet ingredients. By the end, you have a “beautiful, basic white cake batter,” according to Drummond.

“To turn it into confetti cake batter, I’m gonna add rainbow sprinkle,” she adds.  Yum!

Drummonds folds the sprinkles in to keep them from breaking, then spreads the batter into three round pans. It’s a little more intense than the box version our moms used to make us when we were kids, but it will definitely pay off!

After baking the cakes, Drummond lets them cool while she works on the homemade frosting. She’s makes traditional Swiss buttercream icing, which is “a little bit trickier” but “worth every second.”

The icing is made with egg whites, sugar, and other ingredients, which you have to whisk in a bowl over a saucepan before transferring to an electric mixer. Once the icing is done and the cake has cooled, she assembles the cake by spreading the frosting over each layer, then spreading it over the sides. For a finishing touch, she makes a wax paper stencil with the birthday boys’ initials, which she fills with sprinkles.

When she finally slices into the cake, it makes us nostalgic with its rainbow-colored insides and creamy white icing on the outside.

People praised this cake recipe in the comments.

“It looks so Delicious recipe 😍😍,” one person commented on the video. Someone else wrote, “Mmmm 😋Yummy🍰.”

“I gotta make this cake for my birthday next week (January 23),” someone else shared.

If you want to make it for your birthday, just know that it takes a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes (including cooling time) to prepare and serves 12-15 people.

The Pioneer Woman makes the most delicious desserts (have you tried her Cow Patty Cookies? They will change your world!), but this one, well — it takes the cake.
