Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of whole milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, in a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of softened butter until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring if desired.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them using a piping bag or offset spatula. Decorate with additional sprinkles if desired. Enjoy!
