Instructions
Vanilla Funfetti Cupcakes
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and set your cupcake liners in your muffin pan.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Slowly add in the beaten eggs, then add the vanilla extract and salt. Add the flour and mix just enough to incorporate the dry ingredient, then stir in the milk. Do not over-mix the batter. Gently fold in the red white n blue funfetti sprinkles.
Portion your batter into the cupcake liners, filling them a little more than half way full. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Cream the unsalted butter until smooth, add the first 2 c portion of the confectioners sugar and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoon of the heavy cream and mix until smooth, then add the remaining 2 c portion of confectioners sugar and mix again until smooth. Drizzle in little bits of heavy cream, if needed, to reach the desired frosting consistency.
Pipe onto the cooled cupcakes using a 3 color joiner, or use 3 bags and fit them into a standard frosting tip of your choice.
