1

Prepare the Cupcake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

2

Add Unicorn Magic

In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry flour mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until just combined.

3

Create the Rainbow Swirl

Divide the cupcake batter evenly into 3 bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create vibrant shades of pink, purple, and blue. Mix well until the colors are evenly distributed.

4

Assemble the Cupcakes

Line a cupcake tray with paper liners. Take a spoonful of each colored batter and place it into the liners, creating a swirl effect. Repeat until all the liners are filled, making sure not to overfill (about 2/3 full).

5

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cupcake tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool completely.

6

Frost with Unicorn Magic

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a splash of milk. Beat until smooth and creamy. Divide the frosting into three bowls and color each with a different shade of pastel food coloring.

7

Decorate with Rainbow Sprinkles

Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the colored frostings onto the cooled cupcakes, creating a swirled effect. Top with rainbow sprinkles for an extra touch of magic.
