Ingredients

If you are a fan of yellow cake cupcakes, then this recipe is for you! This recipe is easy to make and yields a delicious cupcake every time. Here is what you need to make 12 cupcakes:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

To make the cupcakes, first preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Then, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Add the milk and oil and mix until just combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cupcake liner about two-thirds of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Frosting

For the frosting, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 4 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2-3 tablespoons of whole milk to thin the frosting, and mix until combined. Scoop the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a tip and pipe it onto the cooled cupcakes. You can also spread the frosting on with a knife if you don't have a piping bag.

Sprinkles

For the finishing touch, top the frosted cupcakes with sprinkles. Sprinkles are a classic topping for cupcakes and add a fun pop of color. Sprinkle the cupcakes with your favorite sprinkles, or choose coordinating colors for a unique look.

Serving

These delicious yellow cake cupcakes are best served the same day they are made. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
