Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 1 tsp butter flavored extract (optional)
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- preheat the oven to 325 degrees
- spray a loaf pan with non-stick baking spray (line pan with parchment to make removing the loaf easier)
- cream together the butter and sugar, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes)
- add egg yolk and whole eggs, one at a time, stopping to scrape the bowl in between additions
- add extracts, stir 1 miute, and then add flour and salt
- gently stir in the sprinkles, and pour into the prepared pan
- for the crumb topping combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and using your fingers, rub in 2 Tbsp cold butter until it is evenly distributed (texture should be like wet sand) stir in 1/4 cup sprinkles
- sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter loaf
- bake 70 minutes and check for doneness (a pick inserted in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs) my loaf took an extra 10 minutes
- when done, cool in pan 10 minutes, and then remove to a rack to finish cooling (bread slices much easier when completely cool)
