For the Cupcakes:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For the Buttercream Frosting:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tsp milk
- Funfetti sprinkles (for decoration)
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl if needed.
Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners. Fill each liner about 2/3 full with the prepared batter, ensuring even distribution for consistent baking.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cupcakes for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar and continue mixing until smooth and fluffy. Add a teaspoon of milk for extra creaminess, if desired, for a perfect texture.
Transfer the buttercream frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Frost each cupcake with the buttercream, creating a beautiful swirl or design on top.
Top the cupcakes with funfetti sprinkles for a colorful, festive touch. The sprinkles will add a fun crunch and make your cupcakes even more appealing.
Your funfetti cupcakes are now ready to enjoy! Serve and share these delicious, soft, and fluffy treats with friends and family for a joyful celebration.
