Light, fluffy funfetti cupcakes topped with colorful star sprinkles, perfect for celebrations and easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • ¾ cup rainbow funfetti sprinkles
  • ½ cup star-shaped sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the rainbow funfetti sprinkles using a rubber spatula.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, decorate the tops with star-shaped sprinkles. Optionally, brush tops lightly with a thin glaze of powdered sugar and milk before sprinkling.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overmix batter after adding flour to keep cupcakes tender. Fold sprinkles gently to avoid color bleeding. Keep oven door closed during baking to prevent cupcakes from sinking. Fresh baking powder and soda ensure good rise.
