Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

½ cup rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping)

1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

2-3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

      Cream Butter: In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix! Fold in ½ cup of rainbow sprinkles.

          Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle a few extra rainbow sprinkles on top for a festive touch.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

              Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more milk for a thinner glaze.

                  Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Finish with more sprinkles on top.

                    Serve & Enjoy: Slice the bread and enjoy it warm or at room temperature. Perfect for festive gatherings or holiday breakfasts!
