How to Make Real Kool Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. (Do not underbeat!)
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 packet (approx. 0.16 oz) Kool-Aid powder (any flavor!) and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- Gradually add the Kool-Aid mixture to the creamed margarine and sugar, beating well to combine.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. (Do not overbeat!)
- Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost and decorate as desired!
