Steps:
- For the cake: Coat a 7-inch round cake pan with 3-inch sides with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with a parchment, coat the paper.
- Whisk together the flour, sprinkles, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl to combine.
- Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale yellow, 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg, scraping down sides and bottom of the bowl, and continue to beat until creamy, about 2 minutes (the mixture will look curdled but will come back together after it has been beaten for 1 or 2 minutes).
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Place two 18-inch pieces of twine criss-crossing one another on a clean work surface. Place the cake pan over the twine, then lay a clean dish towel over the top of the cake pan and tuck the ends under. Take the 2 ends of 1 piece of twine and tie them into a tight knot over the top of the cake pan. Repeat with the remaining twine so that you have two twine handles to support and lift the cake.
- Set a rack inside the Instant Pot® and add 2 cups water. Using the twine handles, place the cake inside the pot. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high pressure for 40 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release for 15 minutes and then quick release and wait until the cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
- Lift the cake out of the pot. Cut the twine and unwrap the cake pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Let the cake cool in the pan, 30 minutes, then invert the cake onto a rack, peel off the parchment and let cool completely.
- Invert the cake again so that it is right-side up. Horizontally trim the top dome from the cake with a long serrated knife to create a flat surface. Slice the cake in half horizontally to make 2 layers. (Cake can be baked 1 day ahead.) Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
- For the buttercream: Beat the confectioners' sugar and butter with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean, then add 2 tablespoons cream and continue to beat on high speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if necessary for a spreadable consistency.
- Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or large plate. Spoon 1 1/2 cups buttercream over the top. Smooth the buttercream to the edge of the cake using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, creating an even layer. Place another cake layer on top. Spread the remaining buttercream over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with sprinkles as desired.
CONFETTI MONKEY BREAD
Imagine the delight and awe of a birthday boy or girl waking up to this delicious and beautiful treat. I used cinnamon extract (commonly found in most grocery stores) in place of cinnamon, purely for aesthetic purposes, as I wanted to create a beautifully light and colorful monkey bread. If you are not opposed to a dark brown confetti bread, feel free to omit the extract and substitute 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.

Steps:
- For the dough: Grease a large bowl with butter and set aside.
- Pour the flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- Add in the yeast and turn on the lowest speed for 30 seconds to evenly distribute.
- Add the milk, melted butter, eggs and 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 120 degrees F) to the flour mixture all at once. Beat on low- to medium-speed until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the sprinkles and mix until mostly distributed, about 30 more seconds.
- Remove the dough from the mixer, shape it into a ball with your hands and place it in the greased bowl, turning once to coat the entire surface.
- Spray a piece of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and cover the bowl. Let the dough rise until doubled in size. (You can also place in the refrigerator overnight.)
- For the coating: Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Add in the granulated sugar and extracts and set aside.
- Generously spray the bottom and sides of a Bundt pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Punch the dough down by pushing your fist into the center and then start pulling the edges into the center.
- Pull apart the dough into small pieces about an inch across and roll in your hands to create smooth, uniform dough balls. Place one layer of dough balls into the Bundt pan, then pour a third of the melted butter mixture over.
- Repeat this process twice more, or until you have used all the dough and butter mixture.
- Bake until golden brown on top, 30 to 35 minutes, covering with foil if the top starts to brown too quickly.
- For the glaze: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with the confectioners' sugar until smooth and light. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. If the glaze seems too thick, add more milk. If the glaze seems too runny, add in a bit more confectioners' sugar. (You are looking for a gravy-like consistency, where the glaze will fall over the sides of the monkey bread but not spill off completely.)
- Remove the monkey bread from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert onto a serving plate.
- Whisk the glaze briefly, then pour over the monkey bread. Garnish with more sprinkles.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, then tap out the excess.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, then beat in the vanilla until combined.
- Alternate folding the flour mixture and milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in 3 additions and the milk in 2, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Add the sprinkles and fold 3 or 4 times until just blended to prevent the colors from bleeding too much. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake the cakes on the same oven rack, rotating the pans about halfway if they seem to be browning unevenly, until golden on top and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pans about 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely.
- For the frosting: While the cakes cool, beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Once it's all been added, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until white and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla until blended. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk, and beat to incorporate. Beat in the remaining milk, 1 tablespoon at a time (the frosting will be spreadable but not runny).
- To assemble: Place 1 cake layer right-side up on a cake plate or stand, and spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate the top with additional sprinkles.
- The cake layers can be made a day ahead; wrap the cooled layers in plastic and aluminum foil and store at room temperature overnight. You can also assemble and frost the cake the day before serving; let it stand at room temperature overnight, covered by a large bowl or cake dome (if your kitchen is very hot, chill the cake and let it stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving).
