Blue Milk Cupcakes
Man…isn’t it the worst when your Dad cuts off your hand? Or when you find out you just kissed your sister? Yikes. Better just sit back and think about the good old days when you lived with your Aunt and Uncle…oh wait. They were killed…by your father’s orders. Hm, Luke just can’t catch a break.
I first made Blue Milk for the Ultimate Star Wars Party and it was a huge hit! These Blue Milk cupcakes will take you to your happy place. Soft and delicious, top these with a super light mascarpone frosting and you’ll have the sweetest treat in the galaxy. Pure comfort, it’s like being in your mother’s womb…when your father force choked her. Yeesh.
Blue Milk Cupcakes
Ingredients:
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1-3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
2-1/4 cups cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 cup BLUE milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla
electric blue gel dye
Mascarpone Frosting
Instructions:
To make Blue Milk get a Bantha, no wait… Just get one cup of milk and add a few drops of electric blue gel dye. Gel dye is the best because you need very little. I can’t stand liquid dyes, they totally alter your cake. Gel dyes are better and pretty inexpensive. Once the blue get dye is added, stir up the milk and you will get an instant gorgeous blue.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a cupcake pan with liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Carefully add the eggs one at a time until incorporated, then add the vanilla.
Alternate the dry ingredients with the Blue Milk until combined. You may need to add more gel dye to the batter for maximum blue-ness. Add a few drops as needed.
Spoon the batter into prepped liners, 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Bake 15-17 minutes depending on your oven. Let cool on a wire rack.
Top with mascarpone frosting and serve.
yay blue milk cupcakes!! love it 🙂
That’s pretty cool, kind of like a blue velvet cupcake 🙂
You’re the perfect mix of geek and good cooker/baker. I always get a kick out of all your Star Wars themed food. May the Force be with you. :o)
These little lovelies do take me to my happy place!
Do you use only the egg whites for this? I just made these and they turned out more turquoise. I didn’t have electric blue food coloring though, only regular blue.
Is the butter non salted or salted?
@Kim I always use unsalted butter.
