Ingredients
12 Servings
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 3 drops food coloring
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 120 ml milk
- 1 gram salt
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 5 ml vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Step 7
Prepare the filling by mixing 1/2 cup of the cupcake batter with the food coloring. Once the cupcakes are cooled, hollow out a small section in the center of each cupcake and fill with the colored batter.
Step 8
Frost the cupcakes and serve to reveal the surprise filling!
