INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2.5 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 Tbsp blue and pink sprinkles
Ingredients for Icing:
2 1/4 sticks butter 18 Tbsp
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp milk
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Pour in the eggs and mix well.
Mix in dry ingredients in 2 batches, alternating with milk.
Fold in the pretty blue and pink sprinkles. Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Place cupcake liners in the 12-cup cupcake pan.
Bake for 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick to see if the cake part is baked through. When the cupcakes come out of the oven, let them cool completely.
To make the icing:
Beat the butter, salt, and powdered sugar on low until it’s all combined. Add vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until creamy. About 3 minutes. Beat in milk on medium-high speed for 1 minute, or until fluffy.
Place 1/2 cup of the plain icing in a small bowl. Stir in a small amount of blue or pink gel food coloring until the icing is the desired color.
Keep your cupcakes in the pan and cut a small hole on the top of the cupcake, right in the center. This will be filled with blue or pink icing. I used a Wilton 1A icing tip to punch a hole.
Fill the hole with the icing and place the portion of the cutout cupcake back over the top.
Pipe plain icing on top and decorate with sprinkles before serving.
