Ingredients

12 servings

For the cupcakes

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
⅓ cup neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
2 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies-style, not nonpareils)

For the frosting

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp whole milk
