The steps in making a Rainbow Cupcake
These cupcakes are not what come to mind when you think of Rainbow Cupcakes. They put a new twist on the old rainbow. Instead of each layer being a different color, there are random streams of color within the cake. Where does this random color come from? It’s not food color; it’s M&Ms within the cake! As the cupcakes bake the M&Ms sink to the bottom and leave a trail of color behind.
The cake is very light and fluffy if perfectly cooked to the appropriate time. The cake does however have a somewhat bitter taste. It was not like the usual vanilla/butter taste that I was expecting. When I made them I was concerned I missed a step or left out an ingredient. False alarm. That is just how the cake tastes by itself. When icing and M&Ms are added on top they combine to make the perfect amount of sweetness.
This recipe was actually given to me in a box of 99 differnet cupcake recipes. These cupcakse are simple and fun. The M&Ms really make this recipe so great. I haven’t heard very many recipes involving m&Ms in cupcakes. I suggest you try it for yourself: Red’s Rockin’ Rainbow Cupcakes These cupcakes are definetely a can-do!
Happy baking,
