Homemade Two Tone Cupcakes

Directions

Sift the flour and baking powder three times into a small bowl. Set aside.

Using an electric hand mixer beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Beat until white and creamy. Add eggs one at a time and stir to combine. Next add flour mixture. Mix until combined but do not over mix.

Divide the batter into two equal portions. Add food coloring to each portion (1 drop in one, 1 drop in the other). Mix well using a rubber spatula.

Now line a cupcake tin or muffin tin with paper cups (recipe makes 24). Pour batter into cups, layering the two colors. First place a little of the pink batter and top with a little of the green batter. You can do this a couple times if you like. Fill cups to about ⅔ full. Don’t over fill.

Bake at 180 cup degrees for about 25 minutes. Cupcakes are ready when the top springs back when you touch it with your finger.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool. Serve and enjoy.
