July 4th Cupcakes

Ingredients for cupcakes:

White cake mix - 1 box

All-Purpose flour - 1 cup

Granulated sugar - 1 cup

Salt - 3/4 tsp.

Water - 1 1/3 cups

Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp.

Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp.

Sour cream - 1 cup

Egg white - 4

Food coloring - red and blue

Ingredients for frosting:

Unsalted butter - 3/4 cup (softened to room temp.)

Powdered sugar - 2 Ibs.

Milk - 1/3 cup plus more

Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp.

Method of preparing the cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners, set aside.
Whisk the cake mix, flour sugar and salt together in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Divide the batter into 3 equal parts. Dye one part red and another blue. Leave the third white.
Scoop the batter into your muffin tin in layers: first the red, then the white and finally the blue. When you're done, each liner should be filled 3/4 of the way.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes. You can do the toothpick test.
Cool in the tins for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Method of preparing the frosting:

Beat the butter with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl, until it becomes smooth.
Gradually add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Slowly add in the 1/3 cup of milk and vanilla. Add in the remaining powdered sugar.
Add 2-4 tbsp milk until the frosting becomes spreadable.
Using a piping tube with a star tip, swirl the frosting over the cupcakes.

Chef's Tip:

You can garnish with July 4th-themed sprinkles as shown in the picture.
