Patriotic Cupcakes

Celebrate your patriotism with these colorful and delicious cupcakes, perfect for Independence Day or any patriotic occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• Red food coloring
• Blue food coloring
• White frosting
• Red and blue sprinkles
• Patriotic-themed cupcake liners

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners with a patriotic theme in a cupcake pan

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Adding the eggs one at a time and mixing them in is the next step

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing them in with the milk every other time

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk

Don't mix any further than that

Take the cupcake batter and divide it into three equal parts

Leave one part alone and color another with red food coloring

Do the same thing with blue food coloring to make red, white, and blue batter

Put a little of each color of batter into a cupcake liner to make a layered look

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

After the cupcakes have cooled in the pan for a few minutes, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Once the cupcakes are cool, put white frosting on top of them and add red and blue sprinkles for a patriotic look
