Cupcakes are fun but what could be more fun than BLUE cupcakes!! These are very yummy and to be honest, the icing is my favourite part (but who doesn't love cream cheese frosting?!)
What you will need:
300g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
1tsp bi-carb soda
315g caster sugar
250ml buttermilk
200g unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, whisked
1tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp blue food colouring
Icing:
250g cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups icing sugar
50g butter, room temperature
1tsp vanilla
How to create:
- Oven to 170 degrees and line a muffin tray with patty pans
- Sift flour, cocoa powder and bi-carb into a bowl, stir through sugar
- Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, vinegar and vanilla in a jug, this mixture looks quite gross but trust me it's ok
- Make a well in the center of the flour and add the butter milk mixture
- Stir until just combined, stir in the food colouring
- Put into patty pans and bake for about 20-25 mins or until skewer comes out clean
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool
To make icing:
- Use electric beaters and beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla, then add the icing sugar and beat until well combined
- Pipe onto cooled cupcakes
Optional: sprinkle cupcakes with sprinkles or something else blue of your choice
