Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the Cupcakes: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a knife to spread the marshmallow frosting on top of each cupcake. Add sprinkles if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy your delicious marshmallow frosted cupcakes at room temperature.
