Equipment

  • Oven
  • Muffin tin

Ingredients

For the cupcakes

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • cups granulated sugar
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cannabis coconut oil melted
  • 10 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

For the frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

For the cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 standard muffin pans with paper liners. Set out butter for the frosting to let it come to room temperature.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until there are no more lumps and set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the eggs, coconut oils, milk, and vanilla extract and mix with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gently fold in the sprinkles by hand being sure not to overmix because the sprinkles will bleed into the batter.
  • Fill each paper liner 2/3 full and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  • Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting

  • Beat the butter using a hand mixer or an electric mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy and smooth. The color should be visibly lighter.
  • Gradually add in the sugar and mix until combined.
  • Add the vanilla and salt and whip until creamy. If the frosting is too stiff, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes

Jimmies are the best type of sprinkles for this recipe! They're the long, thin sprinkles and are sometimes called "decorettes." I topped my cupcakes with sprinkles, but you can also fold them into the frosting for even more unicorn love.
