Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 shot espresso or 8 oz strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or plain creamer
  • 1/2 teaspoon edible cake batter flavoring
  • Whipped cream optional
  • Rainbow sprinkles and cinnamon powder for topping

Method
 

Method
  1. Brew the Espresso: Prepare a shot of espresso or strong coffee and pour it into a mug.
  2. Steam the Milk: Heat the milk until frothy.
  3. Mix in Flavors: Stir in vanilla syrup, cake batter flavoring, and creamer.
  4. Assemble the Latte: Pour the steamed milk over the coffee.
  5. Top it Off: Add whipped cream, drizzle with vanilla syrup, and sprinkle with birthday sprinkles.
  6. Final Touch: Dust with cinnamon for a "cake crumb" effect. Serve immediately.

Notes

Swap vanilla syrup for sugar-free syrup. Double the cake batter flavoring for a richer taste. Use oat, almond, or soy milk. Chill the espresso and pour it over ice before adding milk. Drizzle with white chocolate or add crushed cake crumbles for a true birthday feel.
