Ingredients

12 servings
  • 1½ cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ⅓ cup assorted brightly colored sprinkles
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, (at room temperature)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, (at room temperature)
  • 2½ cups powdered sugar, (pressed through a sieve to remove lumps)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk, (more or less as needed)
  • ¼ cup assorted brightly colored sprinkles

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

  3. In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter; beat until creamy. Add the sugar and mix on high speed until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and egg white, mixing well on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Beat in the oil and vanilla.

  4. With the mixer on low speed, mix in half of the dry ingredients. Mix in the milk. Then mix in the rest of the dry ingredients and beat until well combined. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir in the sprinkles.

  5. Fill the cupcake liners ⅔ full. Bake until the tops are set, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.

  6. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and cream cheese on high speed until creamy and well combined.

  7. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar. Beat until the sugar is incorporated, and then add the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, if needed. Beat the frosting on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until fluffy and creamy. If the frosting seems too thick, beat up to a tablespoon of milk until well combined.

  8. Frost the cupcakes and top them with the sprinkles.
