Description
Delicious cupcakes that combine the nostalgic flavors of snow cones with moist vanilla cake, topped with vibrant frosting and sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Food coloring (various colors)
- Frosting (buttercream or whipped cream)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with colorful liners.
- Cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, then gradually add this mixture into the creamed butter, alternating with the milk.
- Divide the batter into separate bowls for multiple flavors. Stir in food coloring as desired.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite flavors, add sprinkles, and enjoy!
Notes
For added flair, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of flavored syrup matching the frosting’s color.
