Funfetti cupcakes made completely from scratch that taste a million times better than the boxed stuff!
Now what I have for you today is homemade funfetti cupcakes. Sure, you can get the box mix from your local grocery store but if you’re already going to have to add the eggs and the oil, why not just make it from scratch? You get to control all the ingredients that go into the batter, and you’re omitting so many preservatives that are included in the box mix.
Plus, nothing beats homemade right?
And truth be told, I was seriously amazed as to how so many people people were impressed that these cupcakes were made from scratch. Little do they know its actually so easy to make! So the next time you’re celebrating a friend or a co-workers birthday, I highly suggest making these cupcakes. You’ll be sure to wow everyone, and they’ll think you’re a professional baker. Plus, the sprinkles are just so pretty to look at!

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in egg whites until well combined. Beat in vanilla until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients and milk alternately in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, beating just until incorporated. Add sprinkles and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
4. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Place into oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
5. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add powdered sugar, beating just until incorporated. Add vanilla, salt and milk. Increase speed to medium high and beat until frosting is light and fully, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Use a small offset spatula to spread the cupcakes with frosting, garnished with sprinkles, if desired.
