Rainbow butterfly Cupcakes!

These babies would definitely make you go crazy. If you are feeling low they would lift your spirits for sure and if you are feeling good you'd feel much better because just looking at them is pure joy! Ah! I am so excited posting this recipe. I am not a big fan of using food colors but once in a while never hurt anyone. Kids would love these cupcakes. You would become a master chef in their eyes and nothing else you cook or bake would be able to top these cupcakes. It is a simple butter cake you can even bake your favorite chiffon or sponge cake for this recipe. It would make everyone wonder how you did it. Let me help you do that ; )

What you need :
185 g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
3 cups flour
Pinch salt
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
2 Milk chocolates, cut into small pieces, cut not chopped
Food colors
Cupcake molds and cases (if not available you can bake a cake too in a cake tin)
Should yield 12- 15 cupcakes

In a large bowl beat butter and vanilla essence till it softens. Add sugar gradually, beating until mixture is light and fluffy. Lightly beat eggs and add gradually to the creamed mixture beating well after each addition.

If using an electric beater, add 1 tbsp of milk while beating the butter and sugar- this will help dissolve the sugar crystals. Sift flour and salt. Using a large metal spoon, fold flour lightly into creamed mixture alternately with milk until mixture is smooth.

Now i took 5 different bowls and 5 different colors (yellow, green, blue, orange and pink) and divided the batter into these 5 bowls. Like shown in the picture below.

Now all you have to do is just keep on pouring spoon by spoon into the cupcake molds and once you filled half place a small piece of chocolate in between and then fill again spoon by spoon, color by color. In the end just take a back of a spoon and make swirls on the top otherwise you could just leave it as it is. Bake at 180 deg C For 15-20 minutes and if you are baking a cake 40 mins. You can check if its baked by piercing with a knife (i use knitting needles), if it comes out clean it is baked perfectly. 

You can do some chocolate or cream icing or jam, i prefer plain with some hot coffee or dipped in cold custard. Once you split them into two they would resemble a butterfly and look like little pieces of heaven : )! And we are done.
