These funfetti cupcakes feature a moist, thick batter with colorful sprinkles folded in, producing a festive crumb texture. The cupcakes bake golden and provide a tender crumb. They are topped with a creamy vanilla buttercream frosting, which can be tinted with food coloring for additional fun. This recipe offers a joyful cake perfect for celebrations or anytime you want a sweet, colorful treat.

Description

Birthday Funfetti Cupcakes start with a batter combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, soda, and salt, mixed into a wet base of melted butter, sugars, egg, yogurt, buttermilk, and vanilla. Sprinkles are gently folded in last to prevent color bleeding. The batter is thick and baked in muffin tins until a clean toothpick emerges, resulting in moist cupcakes with festive dots throughout. The frosting is a classic vanilla buttercream made by creaming softened butter and gradually adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, creamy, and pipeable. Optionally, food coloring can be added to the frosting to match the celebratory mood.
