    What goes into the recipe

    ingredients for funfetti cupcakes: self raising flour, eggs, vanilla paste, milk, sugar, melted butter
    • self raising flour- this is flour with baking powder already in it. The ratio is 1 cup flour to 2 tsps baking paking powder. If you don't have any you can simple making your own.
    • melted butter- makes it quicker and easier to mix these. If you don't use melted butter you can use coconut oil.
    • 100's and 1000's- these are the best sprinkles to use in these funfetti cupcakes because they are small and don't detract from the texture and flavour. If you are after something with only natural flavourings, there are loadsd available at Hopper Foods.
    • sugar- this recipe only uses a tiny amount!

    Expert Tips and FAQs

    Can I freeze these cakes?

    Yes! I freeze them after baking on a tray and when solid transfer to a container.

    What types of sprinkles can I use?

    I use 100's and 1000's. You can also use the ones called "brights
    or the chocolate equivalent. Larger types of sprinkles make the texture really unpleasant (I tried!). If you are looking for something natural, there are loads to try at Hopper Foods.

    What other cakes would you recommend for a bake sale?

    Our best ever Vanilla Cupcakes are a great bake sale option, or these really yummy marble cakes. Another option is making cookies like these ones!
