Neapolitan cupcakes

This is a ‘how to’ but feel free to make your own variations! I just thought that pink and white cake would be cute, and the chocolate frosting was a nice way to cover up to the surprise.

Make some white cupcake batter, split it into two bowls. Dye one of half of the batter pink. I like to use gel dyes, since they are more colorful and don’t make the batter runny.

Gently spoon half the white and half the pink into a prepared cupcake tin. I found that white liners show off the pink/white if you like that, or if you want to keep it a real surprise, a dark liner is great for foolin’.

The two colors make for some pretty cupcakes, even unfrosted!

You can change this up by adding flavors, of course. I just wanted to keep the consistency of the batter the same, so I split a vanilla batter. Digging in and finding two colors is all the fun!

    If you white cake ever turns brown, you’ve cooked it too long. Just bake it until it’s just done, still moist, not dry.

    if you were to add flavors to the batter, say strawberry for the pink and vanilla for the white, would they mix into one flavor during baking?
