A homemade version of everyone’s favorite party cupcake! Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes are light and fluffy vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles.
Funfetti is my alltime favorite flavor. I love Funfetti Muddy Buddies, Funfetti Gooey Butter Cake, Funfetti Blondies, I love all things funfetti.
These Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes are even better than the boxed mix! They are my go to cupcakes for birthdays or barbecues or any time someone needs to be cheered up.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 batch vanilla buttercream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line 12 muffin cups with parchment liners.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg whites and beat until combined. Add vanilla and almond extracts; mix well.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the milk.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in sprinkles.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Cool completely before frosting.
Can You Freeze Funfetti Cupcakes?
Yes, you can freeze these Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes! I would freeze them without the frosting and frost them when you are ready to serve.
I like to wrap each cupcake individually in plastic wrap and then place all of them in a freezer ziploc bag. This keeps as much air out as possible so they stay nice and fluffy.

It’s funny how funfetti cake mix is so popular even among all of the other classic flavors. It’s always been my favorite cake by far, but a homemade version sounds even better!

Cupcakes taste better when sprinkled with colourful beads! These are gorgeous. I would stuff my face with these like a badly behaved child :D
