  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 2 large eggs

– 3/4 cup milk

– 2 tsp vanilla extract

– 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

– 1/4 tsp salt

– 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles

– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 4 cups powdered sugar

– 2 tsp vanilla extract

– 2-3 tbsp heavy cream

– Extra sprinkles for topping

Notes

🧁 Use jimmies-style sprinkles for even distribution—they won’t bleed color into the batter like harder nonpareils, preserving that iconic rainbow pop in every bite.
🥚 Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for better emulsion—butter won’t incorporate evenly with cold ingredients, leading to lumpy batter instead of smooth texture.
⏲️ Don’t overmix after adding flour to keep cupcakes tender—excess stirring develops gluten, resulting in tough, dense treats rather than light, fluffy delights.
