Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and line a 12 cup cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer) cream together the butter and sugar until it is nice and fluffy.
Add the egg, egg white, milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract and blend until well incorporated.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Slowly add it to the wet mixture until everything is incorporated. Using a spatula, gently fold in the sprinkles (careful not to over mix as the sprinkles will stain the batter as the colour seeps out).
Spoon batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for approximately 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely before icing.
Use the vanilla buttercream frosting recipe below or your favorite frosting to top them and be sure to add more sprinkles on top!
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until fluffy for several minutes. Add half of the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Slowly add the remaining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy. [Note: If the frosting is too thick, you can add more milk until it reaches the desired consistency. If its too thin, you can add more powdered sugar.]
Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or simply spread the frosting onto your cupcakes with an offset spatula and frost the cupcakes. Add sprinkles.
