Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 3 cups Buttercream frosting
- Food coloring (assorted colors)
- 12 pieces Round lollipops
- 0.5 cup Candy sprinkles
- Ribbon (optional for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cupcakes are cooling, divide the buttercream frosting into separate bowls and tint each bowl with your desired food coloring.
Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them with the colored buttercream using a piping bag or a spatula.
Decorate the frosted cupcakes with candy sprinkles.
Insert the stick of a lollipop into the side of each cupcake to emulate the handle of a rattle.
For an added touch, tie a ribbon around the lollipop stick just below the candy top.
Arrange the Baby Rattle Cupcakes on a platter for a fun and festive presentation. Serve and enjoy!
