1

Prep the Cupcake Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until just combined.

2

Bake the Cupcakes

Line a cupcake tray with paper liners. Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each one about two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

3

Prepare the Pastel Frosting

In a bowl, beat 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a few drops of food coloring to achieve the desired pastel shades. If the frosting seems too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your preferred consistency.

4

Decorate the Cupcakes

Using a piping bag or a spatula, generously frost each cupcake with the pastel frosting. Get creative with swirls and patterns! To add some festive Easter flair, top each cupcake with colorful sprinkles or mini chocolate eggs. Let your imagination run wild!
