Ingredients
Cupcakes
220g all-purpose flour
200g granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
113g unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Frosting
113g unsalted butter, room temperature
450g powdered sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175°C and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the sprinkles.
Alternating between the flour mixture and whole milk, add the dry ingredients and wet ingredients to the bowl with the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
For the frosting, beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add in the whole milk, a tablespoon at a time, and beat until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in the sprinkles.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe the frosting onto each cupcake using a piping bag and decorate with additional sprinkles as desired.
Special tip: For a more fun choose colourful sprinkles with different shapes and sizes.
