Ingredients
Confetti Cupcakes
- 1 ¼ cups (150g) All Purpose Flour
- 1 ¼ tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) White Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120g) Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Rainbow Sprinkles
Raspberry Buttercream

- 2 tbsp Water
- 3/4 cup (170g) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
- 3 ½ cups (420g) Confectioners’ Sugar
Directions
Confetti Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a cupcake pan by lining with cupcake liners.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter and sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy looking, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl. Add in the vanilla.
- In a separate medium sized bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together to combine.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the stand mixer, mix on low until combined. Add ½ of the milk and mix on low until combined. Continue alternating the flour and the milk, until both have been completely added (finishing with the flour mixture). Fold in the sprinkles.
- Fill cupcake tins with the batter then place into the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Raspberry Buttercream
- Add Raspberry pie filling and water to a small blender or food processor. Blend until mostly smooth. Set aside.
- Add butter to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high until butter is doubled in volume and looks light and fluffy.
- Turn the stand mixer to low and slowly add the confectioners’ sugar. Beat until completely incorporated, then add in the blended pie filling. Beat until well-combined and fully incorporated.
- Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with more sprinkles.
