Rainbow Cupcakes

I was inspired by seen Rainbow Cupcakes in many blogs & websites & thought of trying them. However I used only two colours & selected colours as Red & Green. Red & Green perfectly match with this Christmas season.

Here is my recipe.

Ingredients(12 nos)

100 g Butter in room temperature

100g sugar

100g flour sieved

2 eggs in room temperature

1 tsp Baking powder

½ tsp vanilla essence

Red & Green food colouring

Method

Preheat oven for 350F.Line the baking pan with cupcake liners.

In a bowl combine flour & baking powder, keep aside.

Beat butter & sugar together in low speed for 2 minutes. Then gradually add eggs for this mixture and mix in high speed for about 2 minutes until the batter become smooth.

Then add vanilla essence,

Also gradually add flour while beating.

Once it becomes a smooth batter, divide to two portions. Add few drops of Red coloring & make one portion in red colour. Do the same with other portion & make it green. (If you use more colours, divide the mix accordingly & mix with colours.)

First fill the ½ of cupcake liners with Green coloured batter.

After that use Red coloured batter & fill upto ¾ of the cup.

Bake for about 20 to 25 mins  or until baked well.

A tooth pick inserted to cake should come out clean when it is baked.

Once it is baked, transfer to cooling rack to cool down completely

Frosting

I used buttercream icing for decorating.

Used star tip & decorate it with a simple design.
