Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles

July 4th Funfetti Cupcakes

Moist and Soft Vanilla Bean Cupcakes are bursting with the most fragrant Vanilla Bean flavor. And top that with the fluffiest Cream Cheese frosting which is not too sweet not too tarty.

July 4th Funfetti Cupcakes

Isn't Cream Cheese frosting the best of all. Its so easy to make, holds shape perfectly and doesn't even needs a lot of beating.

Of course, I love Buttercream Frosting over my cupcakes as well. But in this hot weather, its really insane to make Buttercream as it shall never form up and hold shape on the cupcakes.

Speaking of Buttercream this Lemon Buttercream Frosting is giving me all the feels! Chocolate Cupcake with Lemon Buttercream Frosting is one of my absolute summer favorites.

  • Vegetable Oil

How to make Patriotic Day Cupcakes

Cupcakes

  • Cut a Vanilla Bean down the center part using a sharp knife. Scrape off the seeds using a knife.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine Cake Mix, Vanilla Bean Seeds, Oil and Eggs.
  • Whisk until combined using a stand mixer or hand held mixer over and the cake batter gets smooth and creamy
  • Gently fold in the Red, White, and Blue Candy Sprinkles. Donot over mix or the colors will spill over.
  • Add the cupcake batter to the cupcake liners.
  • Bake @350F for 12-15 min.
  • Once it gets baked, allow it to cool down for 5-10 min on a wire rack.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Whisk Cream Cheese, Softened Butter, Icing Sugar, Vanilla Bean Seeds.

  • Add it into a piping bag attached with your favorite nozzle or just snap a piping bag in the corner.

HINT

  • Do not over mix the cupcake batter with the Funfetti. Just fold in gently!
  • You can top the cupcakes with small American Flags or any other Patriotic Day Decorations as well
  • Fill the cupcakes only about 2/3 of the liners. Do not over fill as any higher shall topple over!

Are you Team Chocolate?

If you're a Chocoholic, you cannot miss out these Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting. Top with these Patriotic Sprinkles and serve!

You can replace Cream Cheese Frosting with Buttercream Frosting as well!

The Best Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

But if you're Team Vanilla, this Vanilla Bean Cupcake recipe is everything you need to make your Summers unforgettable.

I add two Vanilla Bean Seeds into the cupcake batter, which gives them that intense Vanilla Flavor which is so good.

I made these Vanilla Bean Cupcakes last month, without the sprinkles and my Neighbors are still raving about it! I think i need to make another batch this weekend to share with them! They love it! And I love it too!!!!

Variations

  • Top with Fruits - If you do not have Patriotic Sprinkles at home, just use fresh Blueberries and Strawberries to top over the cupcake frosting. It will give the perfect Red, Blue and White Color to these Cupcakes.
  • Buttercream Frosting - Instead of Cream Cheese Frosting, use Buttercream Frosting. However, remember to refrigerate the frosting for 5-10 minutes in the piping bag before frosting.
  • Gluten Free - Use your favorite Gluten Free Cake Mix for this recipe.

Storage

Store the frosted cupcakes in an airtight container, sealed tighty with the lid. However, you must make sure that the container is deep enough so that the frosting doesn't get smushed. You can refrigerate frosted cupcakes for upto a week in the refrigerator.

These cupcakes don't stand up well to freezing.
