Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
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 flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
Slowly pour in the milk and mix. Add the remaining dry ingredients and continue mixing until the batter is smooth, but do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until creamy.
Gradually add the heavy cream and beat until the frosting reaches a light, fluffy consistency.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them using a piping bag or a spatula.
Decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, if desired, and serve. Enjoy your Yum Yum Cupcakes!
