Cake Batter Cupcakes

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, sifted

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

2/3 cup sugar

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 vanilla bean, split and scraped

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup sprinkles

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F, and prepare your cupcake pan by greasing or lining with wrappers.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla and vanilla bean seeds, until lighter in colour. Reduce speed, and add half the flour mixture. Beat on medium until just combined, then pour in buttermilk. Beat again until just combined, then mix in remaining flour mixture. Scrap down the sides of the bowl, then fold in the sprinkles.

Scoop batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Allow to cool then frost with buttercream.
