Birthday Funfetti Cupcakes
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.
