Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2
In a medium 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. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Gradually add the milk to the butter mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Divide the batter in half. Add the blue food coloring to one half and mix thoroughly.
6
Spoon the white and blue batter alternately into the prepared muffin liners, creating a marbled effect.
7
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting: beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and mix until light and fluffy.
9
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. Decorate with the cream cheese frosting and, optionally, blue and white sprinkles or sugar decorations.
