St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely crushed Lucky Charms (cereal pieces only, no marshmallows)
- About 25 drops green food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cupcake pans with liners.
- In a large bowl blend cake mix, eggs, sour cream, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Mix in drops of green food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Mix in finely crushed Lucky Charms crumbs until combined.
- Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full with batter and bake 18-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
- Take cupcakes out and let cool completely.
- Directions for Marshmallow Buttercream
- In a medium bowl beat room temperature butter with an electric mixer.
- Add two cups of the powdered sugar, the vanilla, and the marshmallow fluff and mix until smooth.
- Continue to add the powdered sugar, a half cup at a time, mixing between each addition.
- Pipe onto each cooled cupcake.
- Top with Lucky Charms marshmallow (do not top with Lucky Charm marshmallow until ready to eat*).
- **You can also add green sprinkles if you would like, I just didn't have any!
- Tip: Marshmallow buttercream may become difficult to mix. If it becomes too stiff, stop adding powdered sugar and finish mixing by hand. *The Lucky Charms will get mushy and loose their crispness if they remain on top of the frosting too long before eating.
