Ingredients
For the cupcakes
- ¼ cup 55g softened butter
- ¼ cup 55g sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup 55g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp milk
For the icing
- ⅓ cup softened butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 drop food gel coloring
- ¼ cup sprinkles
- 1 tsp milk optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
- In a bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add an egg and vanilla extract, then gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder. Finally, mix in the milk.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
- For the icing, beat the softened butter until creamy and fluffy. Slowly add powdered sugar, and if needed, incorporate a splash of milk to achieve the desired consistency. Divide the icing into three bowls and add a drop of food coloring to each bowl. Transfer each colored icing into a piping bag with a star nozzle.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, pipe the colored icing onto each cupcake in a swirl pattern. Finish by sprinkling with your favorite sprinkles.
