Colorburst Cupcakes (ourbestbites)

By shelliec

Ingredients

• 1 white cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 C yogurt (any smooth textured fruit flavor is fine!) or sour cream
• 1/2 C milk
• 1/3 C vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients until incorporated (about 30 seconds). Scrape sides of bowl and then beat on med-high speed for 2 minutes.

Divide batter according to how many colors you are using. I used 5 colors and it worked out to a little over 1 cup for each color, but each cake brand will be slightly different.

Use gel food colors to color batter to desired intensity.

To get a layered stripe like I used, you’ll want to put a spoonful of each color in the cupcake one at a time. The batter is thick, so it won’t spread on it’s own. A great tip is to set out a little bowl of water where you’re working. Dip your finger in the water and then gently spread the batter out. The water will make it so the batter doesn’t stick to your fingers.

Bake them according to the package directions, until a toothpick comes out dry.
