1

Prepare the Cupcake Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add softened butter and beat until mixture resembles fine crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be sure not to overmix!

2

Fill Cupcake Liners

Line a cupcake pan with colorful cupcake liners. Spoon the batter into each liner, filling each about two-thirds full. This will give the cupcakes the perfect rise without overflowing.

3

Add Surprise Filling

Now, let's add the element of surprise! Grab your favorite candy or sprinkles. Using a small spoon or melon baller, create small wells in the center of each cupcake. Fill the wells with your chosen surprise, making sure not to overstuff them. Keep the surprise a secret until it's time to take a bite!

Bake the Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Place the cupcake pan in the oven and bake for the recommended time or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Be patient - the aroma of freshly baked cupcakes will start to fill your kitchen!

5

Let Them Cool

Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. It's important to resist the temptation to dig in right away, or your surprise filling might not be a surprise anymore!

6

Frost and Decorate

Now comes the fun part - frosting and decorating! Whip up your favorite buttercream frosting or use store-bought frosting if you're in a hurry. Frost each cupcake generously, covering the surprise filling and adding a little extra sweetness. Top the cupcakes with colorful sprinkles or any other decorations that match your party theme.
