Description
Delightful light and fluffy vanilla sprinkle cupcakes perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (or milk + vinegar as a substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter, mixing until crumbly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing! Fold in the sprinkles carefully to avoid breaking them.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with frosting of your choice and sprinkle with extra sprinkles.
