Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2
Add the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/4 cups) , Granulated Sugar (1 cup) , Baking Powder (1/2 Tbsp) , and Salt (3/4 tsp) to a large bowl, and gently combine with a large spoon.
Step 3
Next, add in the Water (1/2 cup) , Vanilla Extract (1 Tbsp) , Egg (1) , Vegetable Oil (1/4 cup) , and mix until the batter comes together. Add the Sour Cream (1/2 cup) , and gently stir until just combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the Sprinkles (1/3 cup) .
Step 5
Place cupcake liners in the pan. Fill the cupcake liners about 3-4 way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. If you want to accelerate the cooling process, pop the pan into your freezer for about 30 minutes.
Step 6
To make the Vanilla Buttercream, beat the Unsalted Butter (1 cup) on medium speed for 30 seconds with a paddle attachment, until smooth.
Step 7
Slowly add in the Powdered Confectioners Sugar (4 cups) , 1 cup at a time. Alternate with small splashes of Heavy Cream (1 Tbsp) .
Step 8
Once fully mixed, add in the Vanilla Extract (1/2 Tbsp) and Salt (1 pinch) , and beat on low until the ingredients are fully incorporated, and the desired consistency is reached. If the frosting is too thick, add additional cream (1 Tbsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar (quarter cup at a time).
Step 9
Place the buttercream in a piping bag fit with a Wilton 1M. Pipe a small buttercream rosette onto the fully cooled cupcakes, and dunk into a bowl of sprinkles. Top with a large swirl of vanilla buttercream. Sprinkle a few additional sprinkles on top of the swirl.
