Party Piñata Cupcakes

baking powder

baking soda

salt

(115 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

(200 grams) granulated sugar

egg whites,

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

(120 grams) full-fat sour cream

(120 milliliters) whole milk

rainbow sprinkles, for filling*

(230 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

confectioners’ sugar

(60 milliliters) heavy cream or whole milk

vanilla extract

salt,

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners &#8211; this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.

Make the cupcakes

 Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy &#8211; about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg whites and vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the sour cream. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients until just incorporated. With the mixer still running on low, slowly pour in the milk until combined. Do not overmix. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.

Pour/spoon the batter into the liners &#8211; fill only 2/3 full to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.

Fill the cupcakes

Using a sharp knife, cut a circle/hole into the center of the cupcake to create a little pocket about 1 inch deep. This piece you removed will be the shape of a cone. Set it aside. Place about 1 heaping teaspoon of sprinkles inside the cupcake. Slice off the pointy end of the &#8220;cone&#8221; piece of cupcake you removed so that it can fit on top of the sprinkle filling. See photos above for visual. Repeat with all cupcakes.

Make the frosting: 

With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy &#8211; about 2 minutes. Add 4 and 1/2 cups confectioners&#8217; sugar, the heavy cream, and vanilla extract with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 full minutes. Add up to 1/2 cup more confectioners&#8217; sugar if frosting is too thin or another Tablespoon of cream if frosting is too thick. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.

Frost cooled cupcakes. I used the Ateco #849 closed star tip.

These were such fun cupcakes to serve! I use Wilton's rainbow sprinkles. They're a little soft and great for a cupcake filling.

I just made these cupcakes and they taste awesome!
I used a chocolate buttercream instead; I just whipped up random amounts of butter, unsweetened cocoa, and icing sugar, then added a few tbsp of milk till I reached a good consistency.
Tastes amaaaziiinngggg!

Amazing! Made today for my daughter’s third birthday tomorrow!

Question: I always have issues with my buttercream turning out...curdled? Not sure what the right word it for it but basically ends up not the smoothest (not lumpy - I do get all the lumps out). What can I do to help prevent this?

These were tasty and fun for Zoom-baking with our niece.  The cake is a bit more dense than our usual white cake.   If you were in a pinch for time, think you could use any white cake and let them set overnight to be sturdy enough to cut the tops.  What a fun time!!!

I made these for my son's daycare for his 3rd birthday and they were a huge hit! I had to use 3 different types of sprinkles, but that made it even more of a surprise for each kid. The cake itself was enjoyed by everyone, even the picky eaters.

I made 4 batches of these this weekend for my niece's graduation party.  I stuffed them with the party themed color and graduation cap sprinkles.  It was stated many times that "this is the BEST cupcake I've ever eaten!"  Thanks Sally!
