1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk For the champagne buttercream frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup champagne
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Gold or silver sprinkles, optional for decoration Instructions: Cupcakes:

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and champagne and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Champagne Buttercream Frosting:
