Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake liners. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, and beat until fluffy. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
Frost cooled cupcakes with vanilla frosting and top with extra sprinkles.

Notes

Use gel food coloring to intensify the color of the sprinkles if desired.
For added flavor, add a splash of almond extract to the frosting.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
