These cupcakes are not your ordinary baked goods; they’re a blend of friendship and sweetness all wrapped up in one cupcake! Perfect for sharing with friends (or keeping all to yourself, no judgment here).
Ingredients
- 1 cup friendship bread starter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup cherry Jell-O powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cherries for garnish (optional, but why not?)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get those cupcakes cozy!
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the friendship bread starter, sugar, and oil until well blended.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Channeling your inner mixer is highly encouraged!
- Stir in the cherry Jell-O powder, water, and vanilla extract. This is where the magic happens.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; we want these cupcakes to be fluffy, not tough!
- Scoop the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Trust us; they will rise beautifully! Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Patience is a virtue!
- If you’re feeling fancy, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a cherry on each cupcake. They might just bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart!
