I made these cupcakes without the jimmies and this is a delicious recipe.
I needed a recipe for dessert for my grandkids and they loved them. I used a cream cheese frosting with
Lemon zest added. They were perfect.

I made these for my daughter’s 3rd birthday and they are the most delicious vanilla cupcakes I’ve ever made. I almost didn’t try this recipe just because of the extra step of whipping the egg whites, but I’m so glad I did. This will be my go-to for “sprinkle cakes” (my daughter’s name for them) cupcakes now. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

These were fabulous! I made them for Easter this year because they look like Spring. I added an ermine frosting and your cupcakes were so soft! Paired well together. Thank you for yet another winner!

Absolutely love this recipe! I’ve been making it for my daughter’s birthday the past 3 years. She always ask for these over store ones. Is her absolute favorite! Love all your recipes they’re amazing!

In reply to kathee giannini. Hi Kathee! I'm sorry to hear this is happening! If they cool too quickly this can happen. :(

Hi,
These confetti cupcakes were delicious…sweet, light, yummy. Of course, I like all your recipes (the ones I’ve tried). But, I do need help with something and that is the cupcakes puff up great and then deflate. What am I doing wrong? I did follow the recipe exactly.
Thank you for sharing your culinary talents.

Can you double this recipe or should I make two batches?

In reply to Kimberly. Hi Kimberly! You will need a mini cupcake tin to make the mini cupcakes. :)

In reply to Elizabeth C.. Before I make these cupcakes, I wanted to know how you make the mini cupcakes. Is there a mini cupcake tray, or is there some other way that you make the mini cupcakes?

Sam,
I’m baking St Patty’s cupcakes (so green sprinkles instead of multi colors) but can’t decide between your Confetti Cupcakes or Birthday Cupcakes.
Initially I was leaning towards B’day because I don’t use cake flour often so thought that would be fun. But what are your thoughts? These will be for coworkers and gym buddies, so which recipe is the most “neutral” in flavor? I’m a personal fan of birthday (little almond hint) but any thoughts on either?
I was going to pair with buttercream (instead of white choco buttercream, just because I don’t know how many people are white chocolate fans)…
Any personal thoughts?

Pretty good!! Mine did somewhat harden at the top but moist overall and packed with flavor. I want to know what is the difference between this cake and the birthday cupcake recipe

I made a gluten free version of these for my spouse today. He said they were the best cupcakes I’ve made to date. And I bake a lot! Just thought people may like to know these can successfully be made gluten free. Just have to make sure all your ingredients are certified GF if offering them to someone with celiac disease.
Thanks for the recipe!

Just wanted to start off by saying this is a FIVE STAR recipe! I needed a go to white cupcake, so I made it without the sprinkles, but will make it with the sprinkles when needed. This cupcake is SO tasty especially for a white cupcake. White cupcakes can sometimes be bland but this one is tremendously flavorful!! For people who are having “issues” with it – this cupcake does not bake up like the cupcake recipes you may have used in the past (this is what I have found anyway, Sam may disagree with this). But just trust the process and go with it! It also flattens out as it cools. If you are having issues with it sinking majorly after taking it out of the oven, it needs to bake longer and you may need to lower the oven temp if they are caramelizing more than you would like. Because the recipe has oil, it is not at risk of drying out like butter only recipes. For cupcake recipes, I don’t rely on the toothpick test (like I usually do for cakes), but on the touch and spring back test. I found this to be more reliable. In the case of this recipe, I found I needed to add 2-4 more minutes to the bake time to get the consistency of the cupcake I desired – and it was still VERY MOIST!

In reply to Fatema. Oh no! It sounds like the the cupcakes may have been a bit over-baked Your oven might be running hotter than it lets on (most ovens do!).

Hi. I made these but they didn’t come out quite looking like yours. They were brown and had kinda shriveled up. Is this something I did wrong or maybe an issue with the oven?

This is the best confetti cake recipe I’ve tried and I’ve tried many. Delicious!!
