Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 12 small chocolate Easter eggs
• 1 1/2 cups buttercream frosting (recipe below)
• Food coloring (optional)
• Decorative sprinkles (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the batter. Place a chocolate Easter egg in the center of each cupcake and gently press it down.
7. Cover the Easter eggs with the remaining batter, filling each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean.
9. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream frosting. If desired, divide the frosting into separate bowls and add food coloring to create different colors.
11. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the buttercream frosting using a piping bag or a knife.
12. Garnish with decorative sprinkles, if desired.
13. Enjoy these delicious Easter Surprise Cupcakes with your loved ones!
