Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Butter and flour an 8-inch square cake pan. Line with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Beat in egg whites, one at a time, until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in vanilla until mixed.
Add the sour cream and beat until combined.
With the mixer on low speed and in three parts, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Fold in sprinkles.
Fill the prepared cake pan with batter and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before frosting.
In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes.
Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla with the mixer on low speed until completely incorporated. Add one tablespoon, or as much as desired, of cream or milk for a thinner consistency. Increase the mixture to high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes.
Using an offset spatula or knife, frost the completely cooled cake.
