2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Time Needed

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Use paper liners to line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
One at a time, beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the dry ingredients gradually, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to completely cool before icing them.
To make the icing, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Mix in the powdered sugar gradually, followed by the milk and vanilla extract.
The icing should be smooth and creamy.
Using a knife or a piping bag, apply the icing to the cooled cupcakes.
Before serving, decorate the cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles.
