Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, caster sugar, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the natural yogurt and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.

Sift the plain flour, baking powder, custard powder, and a pinch of salt into the wet ingredients. Fold the dry ingredients in until just combined, then gently stir in 2 tablespoons of sprinkles.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cases using an ice cream scoop or two spoons. Bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
