Ingredients
Cupcakes
1 and 23 cups 209g allpurpose flour spooned leveled
12 teaspoon baking powder
14 teaspoon baking soda
12 teaspoon salt
12 cup 8 Tbsp 113g unsalted butter melted
1 cup 200g granulated sugar
1 large egg
14 cup 60g yogurt
34 cup 180ml milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
12 cup rainbow sprinkles not nonpareils
Vanilla Buttercream

34 cup 12 Tbsp 170g unsalted butter softened to room temperature
3 cups 360g confectioners sugar
14 cup 60ml heavy cream or halfandhalf
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F 177C. Line a 12count muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners. Set aside.
Make the cupcakes In a medium bowl mix together flour baking powder baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large microwavesafe bowl melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in sugarmixture will be gritty. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 minute. Stir in egg yogurt milk and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick. Slowly stir in sprinkles but do not overmix because the sprinkles will bleed their color.
Divide batter among 12 cupcake liners and bake for up to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Make the frosting in a medium bowl beat the softened butter on medium speed with an electric handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Turn mixer off and add confectioners sugar cream and vanilla extract. Mix on low for 1 minute then increase to high speed and beat for 34 full minutes. Add more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin or more cream if frosting is too thick. Add salt if frosting is too sweet I usually add 14 teaspoon. Frost cooled cupcakes and top with sprinkles.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the refrigerator up to 5. I recommend a cupcake carrier for storing and transporting decorated cupcakes.
