Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Fruit-flavored cereal (e.g., Fruity Pebbles)
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Extra fruit-flavored cereal for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in 1 cup of fruit-flavored cereal to the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds of the way full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the powdered sugar, butter, and heavy cream together on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, frost them using a piping bag or a spatula.

Step 13

Sprinkle the frosted cupcakes with extra fruit-flavored cereal for a colorful garnish.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your vibrant Pebbles Cupcakes!
