These holiday cupcakes are a festive treat for any celebration. Their colorful appearance and delightful taste will bring joy to your holiday gatherings.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. Red and green food coloring. Holiday-themed sprinkles.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake tin with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate 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. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Divide the batter into two equal portions. Add red food coloring to one portion and green food coloring to the other, until you achieve your desired holiday colors. Fill each cupcake liner with alternating spoonfuls of red and green batter until 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting and decorate with holiday-themed sprinkles. Serve and enjoy your delicious holiday cupcakes!
