Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
  • 4 egg whites + 1 extra egg white
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Red food coloring gel
  • Blue food coloring gel
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (softened) for frosting
  • 6 cups confectioners’ sugar (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or as directed on the cake mix box). Prepare muffin tins with liners or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg whites, melted butter, and milk. Mix until just combined.
  3. Divide batter into three bowls. Color one with red gel and another with blue gel, leaving one plain for the white layer.
  4. Layer one tablespoon of blue batter in each cupcake liner, followed by one tablespoon of white batter, and finish with one tablespoon of red batter. Fill each liner two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until domed and springy to the touch. Cool in pans for two minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. For frosting: Beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add sifted confectioners’ sugar. Mix in salt, vanilla extract, and enough milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
  7. Frost cooled cupcakes using a piping bag or storage bag with a corner snipped off.
