How to Make Patriotic 4Th Of July Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare your favorite white cake mix according to package directions. (Note: most boxed cake mixes require water, oil, and eggs).
- Divide the prepared batter evenly into three bowls: one for red, one for blue, and one to remain plain (white).
- In the first bowl, add red food coloring a few drops at a time until you achieve your desired shade of red. In the second bowl, do the same with blue food coloring.
- Into each cupcake liner, add approximately 1 tablespoon of red batter, 1 tablespoon of white batter, and 1 tablespoon of blue batter. Do not swirl; leave the layers distinct.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite vanilla frosting and decorate with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
