Directions
Prep:
Cook:
Total:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and set out cream cheese at room temperature to soften.
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Add wet ingredients and mix just until no clumps remain. Gently stir in sprinkles, if using. Over-mixing will cause colors to bleed.
- Line wells of a muffin pan with cupcake liners (foil or silicone work best). Divide batter between lined wells and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (For a layer cake, lightly grease two 6-inch round pans or 7x5 rectangle pans, then divide batter between pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.)
- While cakes cool, mix frosting ingredients together until smooth.
- Spoon frosting into a sealable baggie, seal top, and cut a 3/4-inch hole in one corner. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes. (For layer cake, spread frosting over bottom cake, place second cake on top, and cover with remaining frosting.) Enjoy!
