Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Add sugar and butter to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed to cream the ingredients until smooth and no chunks of butter remain.
- Mix in the eggs and vanilla on medium speed until batter is smooth.
- Slowly add the flour, baking powder and salt. Be careful not to overmix the batter on this step.
- Once the flour mixture is completely incorporated, add the milk and slowly stir until the batter reaches a smooth consistency.
- Separate your cupcake batter into separate bowls for each color you would like to use.
- Add 6 drops of food coloring into each bowl and gently fold the batter until the food coloring is fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into your cupcake liners in whatever order you would like and cook for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting and enjoy!
Notes
- Use paper liners to prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the pan.
- Avoid over mixing the batter.
- How much of each colored batter to add isn't important. Just have fun!
