Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
-
Fill each cupcake liner with the batter until about 3/4 full.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cupcakes cool completely.
-
In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and butter until smooth. Add food coloring as desired.
-
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, cut a small circle from the center of each cupcake and cut it in half. Place a dollop of frosting in the hole, and then place the two cupcake halves on top to look like butterfly wings.
-
Decorate with sprinkles and serve.
