Glittery goodness with a surprise rainbow center. Perfect for long walks on the yellow brick road.
Ingredients
- 175 grams all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 225 grams caster sugar
- 175 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 175 milliliters milk
- Buttercream frosting
- Food coloring
- Edible glitter
Steps
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 160C (320F) or 180C (356F) for a conventional oven. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the food coloring, plain flour, salt, bicarb soda and sugar. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well! Add the softened butter there is no butter visible and it's well incorporated into the dry.
- Next, add milk and eggs in a jug and whisk until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl and mix for another 20 seconds.
- Fill each paper 3/4 of the way (using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons). Bake for 20-25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.
- Mix a batch of yellow, red, blue, purple and green frosting, and put each in a piping bag, plus another bag of red buttercream. Hollow the inside of the cupcake with a piping tip, and fill in the rainbow layers of frosting, and surround this with a swirl of red buttercream.
- Top with edible red glitter.
