    1 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt

  • Add the rainbow sprinkles and use a rubber spatula to fold the sprinkles into the batter. See note!
    ¼ Cup Rainbow Sprinkles
  • Use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to portion the batter into the lined cupcake tin, filling each liner about ⅔ of the way full. then bake in a 350*F oven for 21-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

To Make the Vanilla Frosting

  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the non-dairy butter until completely smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar and mix on low until combined.
    8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, room temperature, 2 Cups Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. Use a butterknife or a piping bag fitted with your favorite pastry tip to frost the cupcakes, and sprinkle with extra rainbow sprinkles. Serve!
    1 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ¼ Cup Rainbow Sprinkles

Notes

When you add the rainbow sprinkles to the cupcake batter, quickly fold them in, just until they are distributed and stop stirring! If you stir too much, the sprinkles will start to melt and the color will bleed into the batter.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. Frosting melts easily, so if the cupcakes are even a little bit warm you will have a big mess!
