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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the milk and mix. Add the remaining dry ingredients and continue mixing until the batter is smooth, but do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until creamy.

Step 11

Gradually add the heavy cream and beat until the frosting reaches a light, fluffy consistency.

Step 12

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them using a piping bag or a spatula.

Step 13

Decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, if desired, and serve. Enjoy your Yum Yum Cupcakes!
