This is a fun recipe for the kids to make for Halloween. It's fun to mix the food coloring in the batter and these cupcakes turn out cute plus they are yummy too!
1 box plain white cake mix
1 C regular sour cream
1/3 C vegetable oil
1/2 C milk
2 eggs
food coloring (yellow and orange)
frosting
candy corn
Combine cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, milk and eggs in a large bowl. Mix according to the directions on the box. Divide batter evenly into 2 seperate bowls. Color half of the batter with a few drops of orange food coloring (1 drop of red to 2-3 drops of yellow). Color the other half with a few drops of yellow food coloring. Place cupcake lines into cupcakes tins. Fill each cupcake liner with 1/4 cup of the yellow batter then top with the orange batter so the cupcake liner is 1/2 full. Bake according to the package directions. Cool cupcakes completly. Frost with white frosting and place some candy corns on top. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers. Serves 24.
Aren't these fun?! I wanted to make some for Halloween but ran out of time with all the pumpkin carving going on around here...I guess we'll make them next year. Maybe we'll try the same concept and do Christmas cupcakes, using red and green food coloring with crushed candy cane/peppermint on top! Haha!
