Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Special Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners to ensure easy removal and clean presentation.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and a light, airy texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. This aerates the mixture for a tender crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the pure vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in the Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, taking care not to overmix to prevent the colors from bleeding in the batter.
  7. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and even rising.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes tender.
  • Use ‘jimmies’ style sprinkles to prevent color bleeding.
  • Check oven temperatures as baking times may vary.
  • Cool cupcakes completely before frosting to avoid melting.
