Colorful Cupcakes (Wheat flour)~ Kids Summer special

Summer is a beautiful weather when kids enjoy the maximum and I always prefer making their favorite items at home.These cupcakes are originally the basic vanilla cupcake recipe just added a few coloring to the cup cakes and made them more appealing for them.I made four layers-red color,yellow color,vanilla(plain) and chocolaty layers.And I prepared it in wheat flour.Hope you will all enjoy making them for small kids parties or picnics and enjoy:-)


Ingredients
all purpose flour 1 1/2cup / wheat flour
vanilla extract 1 tsp
egg 1
milk 1/4 -1/2 cup

butter 1 stick (125 g)  softened at room temp.
baking powder 1 1/2tsp
salt a pinch

Method
  • Sift the wheat flour and add baking powder.
  • Whisk the egg till fluffy,add the softened butter and beat again.
