Christmas Cupcakes ### Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
Red and green food coloring
Your favorite buttercream frosting
Christmas-themed sprinkles

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients while alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter into two portions. In one portion, add red food coloring, and in the other, add green food coloring, mixing until you achieve your desired shades.
Using a spoon, alternate scoops of red and green batter into each cupcake liner, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost your cupcakes with buttercream frosting and decorate with Christmas-themed sprinkles.

Enjoy these visually stunning and delicious Christmas cupcakes with family and friends. They’re perfect for sharing and will definitely bring some holiday cheer to your festivities! Happy baking!
