Ingredients for Yellow Cupcakes

For Cupcake Batter:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour (maida)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or oil
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3–4 drops Crait Yellow Food Color

For Frosting:

• 1 cup whipped cream or buttercream
• 1–2 drops Crait Yellow Food Color
• Sprinkles or chocolate chips for decoration

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Cupcake Batter

Add butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat them until the mixture becomes light and creamy. Next, add the eggs and vanilla essence, then mix until smooth.

For an eggless variation, use a suitable egg substitute according to your preferred baking method.

2. Add Dry Ingredients

Sieve all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda into a separate bowl. Afterwards, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients.

Fold gently until everything combines evenly. However, avoid overmixing because it may affect the fluffy texture of the cupcakes.

3. Add Crait Yellow Food Color (Key Step)

Add 3–4 drops of Crait Yellow Food Color to the cupcake batter. Then, mix gently until the batter develops a smooth and vibrant yellow shade.

This important step gives the Yellow Cupcakes Recipe its bright and attractive bakery-style appearance. Furthermore, even mixing helps create a consistent color in every cupcake.

4. Fill Cupcake Liners

Place cupcake liners in a muffin tray. Next, pour the prepared batter into each liner and fill it about three-quarters full.

Leave enough space for the cupcakes to rise while baking.

5. Bake the Yellow Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the cupcakes for 18–20 minutes or until they become soft and fluffy. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake to check the texture. If it comes out clean, remove the tray from the oven. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.

6. Prepare the Yellow Frosting

Add 1–2 drops of Crait Yellow Food Color to whipped cream or buttercream. Mix gently until the frosting develops a bright and even yellow shade. Additionally, chill the frosting for a few minutes if it becomes too soft for piping.

7. Decorate & Serve

Pipe the prepared frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Finally, decorate them with colorful sprinkles or chocolate chips.
