Rainbow cupcakes Ingredients

Cake

• 1⅔ cups self raising flour
• ⅘ cup butter
• 1 Cup of Caster Sugar
• 2/3 Cup of Butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Lemon extract- optional
• Sprinkles

Buttercream

• 1 1/3 cup unsalted butter
• 4 2/3 cups icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Food coloring!

Now Pay close Attention:

1. Mix the butter and caster sugar until soft and light. In a separate jug, add a tsp. vanilla extract to 3 beaten eggs, and then add this to your mixture until fluffy. Sift in the flour, add the sprinkles and fold in with a large metal spoon. Then add 2-3 tbsp. milk if you wish to loosen the mixture. Fill the cupcake cases with the mixture, almost to the top and bake at 350°F for around 22 minutes or until golden brown.

2. To make the buttercream, cream the butter until soft and pale. Then add the icing sugar in 2 batches. Add 1 tsp. vanilla extract and mix well. You can add a little milk if needed to loosen.

3. Divide the buttercream into 7 bowl and colour: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple & pink. Spread the colours in lines on a piece of cling film and fold in half. Smooth down into a tube and smooth the end into a point. Snip off the end and slide into a piping bag with a 2D nozzle attached. Pipe a few test swirls until you see all of the colours coming out. Then you’re ready to pipe your swirls on your cupcakes.
