Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Cupcake Tin
  • Paper Liners
  • Toothpick

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. This ensures your cupcakes won’t stick. Pro tip: Use bright liners to match the sprinkles!
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step adds air to the batter, making the cupcakes soft. Scrape down the sides often for even mixing.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture should smell amazing—sweet and inviting!
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined. Overmixing makes the cupcakes dense.
  • Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix; otherwise, the colors may bleed. Fill each liner about ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
