Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
• For the frosting:
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Rainbow sprinkles, for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
4. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with the milk and mixing until just combined. Stir in the rainbow sprinkles.
5. Fill each cupcake liner about three-quarters full of batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
6. To make the frosting, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream and beat until light and creamy. Pipe or spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles, if desired.
