Yesterday I decided to make funfetti cupcakes from scratch. I’ve made recipes for homemade cupcakes before but never funfetti cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting. They turned out so good and were super easy to make. The recipe doesn’t require anything fancy and you probably already have all of these ingredients in your kitchen. I hope you enjoy as much as we did.
- ½ Cup Softened Butter
- 1 Cup White Sugar
- 2 Large Whole Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1½ Cups of All-Purpose Flour
- ⅛ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ Cup of Milk
- ⅓ Cup of Assorted Sprinkles
- Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F.
- In Large bowl Cream Butter and Sugar with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until fluffy.
- Add eggs, vanilla and beat until well combined.
- In another large bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix well.
- Combine half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix until combined.
- Add the milk and mix well.
- Add the remainder of the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Gently Fold in the sprinkles but don't over mix.
- Fill the lined cupcake tins up about ⅔ of the way full.
- Bake 16-18 Minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
Next is this amazing ButterCream Frosting Recipe!
Ingredients:
2 Sticks of Softened Unsalted Butter
3-3 1/2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon of Milk
1/4 teaspoon of Salt
Sprinkles for Topping
Directions:
In a large bowl cream the softened butter with an electric mixer until nice and smooth.
Slowly add in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time, mixing well.
Add Vanilla and Salt, then beat for about 2-3 minutes.
Add milk, mix well.
If frosting is too thin you can add more powdered sugar.
If frosting is too thick add a small amount of milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. Funfetti cake is my daughter and grandsons favorite. I am looking forward to a good buttercream frosting so can’t wait to try this. I SO appreciate you having a print button. So many blogs do not and I’ve had to copy the entire recipe then send it to me. You made life much easier as I just printed.
Looks yummy! I may be trying these out soon! Your recipe says 1/2 butter….is that 1/2 cup butter?
Hey Adrienne! Thanks for catching that, yes it is suppose to be 1/2 cup of butter. Hope you enjoy!
Those look great! I haven’t had a cupcake in awhile.
Funfetti is my favorite type of cake!

I just made these but used real almond flavoring for the frosting instead of vanilla. The cupcakes are still cooling but I have to say the batter was DEEEEELISH!!!!! Can’t wait to try them. I’m surprising a sweet friend who just had surgery yesterday…funfetti cupcakes are her fav!! Betting she likes these better then the boxed…
THANKS!!!!
I am so glad they turned out!!! That is so sweet of you to make cupcakes for friend. I hope she is feeling better and you both are enjoying those cupcakes. I’ll have to try them next time with the Almond flavoring.
