- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup sour cream

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red and green gel food coloring
- For Decoration:

Instructions
- Make the Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with festive cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk and sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
- Prepare the Frosting:
- Beat the butter in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined.
- Add vanilla extract and heavy cream, beating until the frosting is fluffy and pipeable. Adjust the consistency with more powdered sugar or cream as needed.
- Divide the frosting into two bowls. Tint one batch red and the other green using gel food coloring.
- Decorate the Cupcakes:
- Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes using a star or round tip, alternating red and green for festive variety.
- Place two mini Oreos on top of each cupcake to create Mickey Mouse ears.
- Add holiday sprinkles and edible glitter for extra sparkle.
- Serve:
- Display your Mickey Mouse Christmas Cupcakes on a festive platter and enjoy the magic!
Notes
- For an extra holiday twist, add a teaspoon of peppermint or almond extract to the frosting.
- Use different sprinkles to match your party theme, or add tiny fondant bows for a Minnie Mouse version.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
