Rainbow Vanilla Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups skim milk
6 ounces food coloring
2 cups frosting

Preparation

1.\tPreheat oven to 375\u00b0F.
2.\tIn a large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add in eggs, two teaspoons vanilla, salt and baking powder. Add flour and milk in batches, starting and ending with flour. Stir until batter is smooth and satiny.
3.\tEvenly divide prepared batter into several different bowls. The amount of bowls will depend on the amount of colors you want to add.
4.\tAdd food coloring to each bowl until you get the desired color.
5.\tI usually do 6 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
6.\tLine your muffin tin with paper cups and spoon in colored batter into cups.
7.\tFor 6 colors, I recommend spooning in 1/2 tablespoon of each color in each cup. For a smaller amount of colors, use 1 tablespoon.
8.\tBake at 375\u00b0F for 15-20 minutes.
9.\tAllow cupcakes to cool for about 45 minutes and frost.
