Classic, refined, and endlessly comforting. Real vanilla bean and buttermilk bring depth and richness to this soft, tender cake, creating a flavour that is simple in the best possible way. Finished with a silky glaze and naturally coloured rainbow sprinkles, it strikes the perfect balance between nostalgic and elevated. Familiar enough to please everyone, yet thoughtfully crafted from the finest ingredients, it's a cake designed to bring a little everyday joy to any occasion.

Instructions

Your baking instructions are included on the back of the box, but we've gathered them here as well—just in case your box has already made its way to the recycling bin.

TO MAKE A CAKE:

• Heat oven to 160°C (325°F). Lightly grease pan, then line with parchment.
  
• In large bowl, whisk together water, oil, and eggs until smooth. Add Cake Mix (1) and whisk until just combined. Pour into pan.
• Bake as directed in chart, or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes, then remove cake from pan and peel away parchment. 
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together hot water and Syrup Mix (2) until sugar dissolves.
• Remove cake from pan and peel away parchment. Place cake on serving platter. Brush or slowly spoon syrup evenly onto cake, letting it soak in as you go. Let cool completely before topping.

TO MAKE A GLAZE:

• When cake has cooled, in small pot or microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.
• Whisk in 1 tbsp hot water and Topping Mix (3). Don't worry if the mixture splits at first.
• Add more hot water, 1/2 tsp at a time, whisking until smooth and pourable.

TO FINISH:

• Place cooled cake on serving platter. Top with glaze and spread toward edges, letting gravity do the rest. Immediately sprinkle with Freeze-Dried Raspberries (4).
