④ Add Eggs & Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract.

⑤ Combine Batter

Add dry ingredients gradually, alternating with milk. Mix gently until just combined.

⑥ Add Sprinkles

Fold in Christmas sprinkles carefully to avoid color bleeding.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

⑧ Cool & Glaze

Let the cake cool completely. Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over the loaf if desired.
