Ingredients: 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles. 1 batch of your favorite buttercream frosting.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the colorful sprinkles. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the cupcake batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with your favorite buttercream frosting and decorate with graduation-themed decorations. Serve and enjoy your Graduation Cake Cupcakes with pride!
