RAINBOW CUPCAKES

 

 

Recipe from Betty Crocker

 

2 boxes SuperMoist® white cake mix 

2 1/2   cups water

2/3 cup vegetable oil     

6 egg whites 

Red, yellow, green and blue liquid food colors  

2 containers (1 lb each) Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting

 

1.   Heat oven to 350°F. Place jumbo paper baking cup in each of 12 jumbo muffin cups.

2.  In large bowl, beat cake mixes, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, then on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until well blended.

3.  Divide batter among 6 separate bowls; tint each bowl a different color. For red, add 18 drops red food color. Orange: 4 drops red and 12 drops yellow. Yellow: 12 drops yellow. Green: 12 drops green. Blue: 12 drops blue. Purple: 9 drops red and 6 drops blue.

4.  In each muffin cup, place 1 tablespoon red batter. Add about 1 tablespoon of each remaining color batter until you have added all 6 colors.

5.  Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

6.  Pipe or spread frosting on cupcakes.

 

When you bite into these the colors are just so cool!
