Ingredients
For the Cupcakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (1 stick)
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup Rainbow sprinkles
For the Icing
- 6 ounces cream cheese room temperature (¾ brick)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature (¾ stick)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
For the Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold them together gently. Keep folding just until no large lumps of flour remain.
- Fold in the sprinkles.
- Fill each cupcake tin ¾ of the way full and bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before icing them (see below).
Cup of Yum
For the Icing
- Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
- On low speed, add the powdered sugar a little at a time.
- Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the icing is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the icing to a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip (I used a Wilton 2D) and frost the cupcakes as desired. Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store funfetti cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Check the centers of your cupcakes with a toothpick after 15 minutes to see if they’re done or not. If not, let them bake a few extra minutes.
- Store your cupcakes at room temperature. They’ll stay good for up to two days.
- If you don’t have a piping bag for the frosting, use a Ziplock bag. It works when you’re in a pinch!
