How to Make Rainbow Bright Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, sour cream, and pudding mix.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined and smooth. The batter will be thick.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among 5 separate bowls.
  5. Add a different color of food coloring to each bowl, adding a small amount at a time and mixing until you reach your desired color intensity.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full, alternating colors as desired.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting.
