1

Prepare the cupcake batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are incorporated. Then, add 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.

2

Divide the batter and add the disco ball jawbreakers

Divide the cupcake batter evenly into a lined cupcake pan. Then, take a disco ball jawbreaker and gently press it into the center of each cupcake, making sure it's fully submerged in the batter. Repeat this step for all the cupcakes. Don't worry if the jawbreaker sinks a bit, it will create a fun surprise in the center!

3

Bake the cupcakes and let them cool

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the cupcake pan in the oven. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

4

Decorate with disco ball frosting

To create the disco ball look, make a batch of vanilla frosting using 4 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Then, divide the frosting into small bowls and add different food coloring to each bowl. Mix well until you achieve vibrant colors. Using a piping bag with a star tip, pipe the frosting onto each cupcake, creating a swirled effect. The more colors you use, the more vibrant and fun your disco ball cupcakes will look!
