Rainbow Kool Aid Cupcakes Recipes

KOOL-AID CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line 24 baking cups with paper liners.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all cake ingredients. Mix on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Fill cups 2/3 full with cupcake batter. Bake for about 15 minutes or until stops spring back lightly when touched. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a rack.
• Beat butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add milk and beat on medium-low until completely mixed. Add powdered sugar and Kool-Aid powder, beating on low until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy. If frosting is too thick, add more milk or corn syrup until desired consistency is reached.
• When cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe frosting onto cupcakes.

RAINBOW CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12 cup muffin pans with paper baking cups. Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until evenly blended; set aside.
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
• Divide the cake batter into four separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring into one bowl of batter and stir; add more food coloring, if necessary, to reach the desired shade. Repeat with the remaining colors and bowls of batter.
• Using a different spoon for each color batter, spoon a small spoonful of each color into the cupcake liners, until 1/2 to 3/4 full. Do not mix the batter once it is in the cupcake liner. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes clean, about 15 to 20 minutes.
