  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and decorate with holiday sprinkles.
