Patriotic cupcakes that can be used for any occasion. You can always substitute your own recipe for white cake and white frosting. In regards to the comment below, I went back to the original recipe to check and it does call for 2 tablespoons of batter per color - I have never had any problems and I actually get 12 cupcakes out of this recipe. I use scant tablespoons. If anyone is worried, try it with teaspoons instead of tablespoons or even 1 tablespoon of the batters per cupcake. Ingredients:
18 1/4 ounces white cake mix |
1 cup water (or as indicated on cake mix directions) |
1/3 cup oil (or as indicated on cake mix directions) |
3 eggs (or as indicated on cake mix directions) |
1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring |
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring |
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting |
red white and blue candy sprinkles |
Directions:
1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
2. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/3 cups batter with blue food coloring. In another small bowl, combine red food coloring with 1 1/3 cups batter. Leave the remaining batter plain.
3. Fill paper-lined muffin tins with 2 tablespoons red batter, 2 tablespoons plain batter, and 2 tablespoons blue batter. Do not swirl batter, leave it layered.
4. Bake at 350ºF for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a cupcake comes out clean.
5. Cool 10 minutes in pan and then remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Frost with vanilla frosting and decorate with sprinkles.
