Birthday Confetti Cake

Vanilla cake with sprinkles folded in. Double layer, each cut in half horizontally. Frosted with meringue buttercream tinted with vanilla. Baking powder switched for baking soda. Vinegar replaced with lemon juice. Some sugar reduced. Extra zest added. Confetti tossed in dry mix, quantity adjusted. Slightly longer bake time. Frosting made by heating whites and sugar over gentle heat. Butter added slowly, whipped for aeration. Cake chilled, layered with thick frosting smear. Piped decorations and confetti scatter on top. Stored covered at room temp, lasts three days.
