Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 10 drop Food coloring
• 1.5 cup Buttercream frosting
• 2 tablespoon Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved.
6. Spoon the different colored batters into the cupcake liners, layering them to create a marbled effect.

8. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting with buttercream frosting.
9. Decorate with sprinkles and enjoy!
