Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
Add Eggs and Flavoring
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the cotton candy flavoring.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Fill Cupcake Liners
Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners until they are about 2/3 full.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Decorate
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before topping with cotton candy.
