Cupcakes for two!

Just a FYI......Don't try to ice cupcakes when it's 30 degrees in your house! Haha! Well I wouldn't have but it was my wonderful friend Brieann's birthday so i decided to make her a cupcake. You may be asking why I didn't just make a whole dozen?? I'll tell you why! Because I probably would of eaten 11 of them instead of just one. And it was 30 degrees in my house so this one bowl method was way faster and easier. Sometimes you just need to have a cupcake. Just one, or two, but not twelve, ok?

What you need
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg white (2 Tbsp liquid egg whites if you have them)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Sprinkles

PREHEAT the oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with two liners (in the middle for even baking).
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, egg white, vanilla, and sugar until thoroughly combined.
Add in the flour and baking powder and whisk gently until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Add in the sprinkles and using a rubber spatula, gently fold them in. Don’t over stir. Seriously! 3 or 4 times is all you get before the sprinkles start to melt into the batter.
POUR batter into your prepared cupcake pan. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.


Vanilla Butter cream frosting
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:

IN a small bowl, whisk the butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until mixed and fluffyish. Add food colouring if you like. Frost your cooled cupcakes and top with more sprinkles of course!
