Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups rainbow sprinkles
- as needed gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin or mini cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If you're using food coloring, divide the batter into separate bowls and mix in a few drops of gel food coloring to create different colors.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, whip the cream and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
Once the cakes are fully cooled, top each one with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of rainbow decorations.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
