If you are wondering what a funfetti cupcake is, it is essentialy a vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream and lots of coloured and fun sprinkles on top. So here's what you will need to make the cakes:
125g of caster sugar
125g of self raising flour
2 large free range eggs
125g unsalted butter
Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate soda
1 and a half tablespoons of milk
Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
Firstly, what you should do is pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees celsius. Then in a medium bowl, mix together125 g of butter, 125g of sugar and 125g of self-raising flour.

After you are done with that, comes the fun part, you take the sprinkles and put them in the mixture as well, as many as you prefer! The more, the better.
After mixing it all together (you can do it with a spatula or use a kitchenaid, that's what I prefer) now you are ready to put in the cupcake mixture in the cupcakes tin. You can put it in some cute cupcake cases and they are ready to go in the oven!
