So this recipe started when I found these chocolate kit kat bunnies at the grocery store. I just knew they'd be perfect on a cupcake:) So, here's a recipe you can try just for fun or use a box mix and ready made icing - no judgement here!
To the recipe. . .
Confetti Cupcakes
Mix together and set aside
1 2/3 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. b. powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. b. soda
In the bowl of your stand mixer beat until fluffy (2 minutes)
1/2 c. unsalted butter - room temp
1 c. sugar
Add to the butter mixture and mix until combined
2 eggs (room temp)
2 tsp. vanilla
Add in and mix
1/2 c. sour cream (room temp)
1/3 c. whole milk (room temp)
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet, mixing until the batter is smooth.
Fold in, by hand
1/4 c. rainbow sprinkles
Place the batter into paper lined muffin tins (this makes 12 cupcakes)
Bake at 350 for about 15-18 minues - do not overbake.
Vanilla Buttercream
Beat together until creamy
1 c. unsalted butter (room temp)
1/8 tsp. salt
Slowly add in
3 1/4 c. icing sugar (might need a bit more)
Drizzle in
3-4 tbsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat on low until combined - here you decide if you need more icing sugar or cream to get it to a spreadable consistency.
Beat for 2 minutes until fluffy and creamy.
Ice cooled cupcakes and add your sprinkle and chocolate bunnies or mini eggs.
Enjoy!
