Preheat oven to 350°. Line two standard cupcake pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk and sift both flours, cane sugar, baking powder and salt all together. In another mixing bowl, add the almond milk and lemon juice and let it activate/curdle. Add in the vanilla and avocado oil and mix until combined.
Add in sugar and mix until it is dissolved. Whisk in dry ingredients and mix until completely incorporated. Gently, fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
Transfer batter to cupcake liners about ⅔ full. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
Vanilla buttercream frosting
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter on medium until light and fluffy. Slowly, add in confectioner's sugar and mix on low until it is combined. Add in the salt, vanilla extract, and almond. Mix until well incorporated and frosting is at your desired consistency.
Pipe frosting on cupcakes and add additional sprinkles if desired!
