Recipe by Stacy Adimando It's time to nail the classic—and arguably best—cupcake of all.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp. baking powder
  • kosher salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 3 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp. whole milk
  • Easy Chocolate Frosting (recipe link in step 6)
  • Rainbow sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and set a rack in the upper center. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed, until mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until just incorporated.
  3. With the mixer on low speed, add half the flour mixture, then the milk, followed by the remaining flour mixture.
  4. Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners. Fill each 3/4 of the way with batter (for ease, use a heaping 3-tablespoon cookie or ice cream scoop).
  5. Bake, rotating pan 180 degrees after 15 minutes, until a cake tester or wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove and transfer to a baking rack. Let cool completely.
  6. To serve, spread each cupcake with Easy Chocolate Frosting using an offset spatula or butter knife. Top with rainbow sprinkles.
