Happy Green Day! - 2 cupcakes is a serving size
ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 T white vinegar
1 t vanilla
1 oz green food coloring
Frosting (if you like)
1 package of softened cream cheese
1/4 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 bag powdered sugar (2 lb bag)
Milk as needed
directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and line cupcake pan with paper or foil liners.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs with a whisk. Add in the oil, buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla, and food coloring. Whisk til blended and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients, and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 1 minute, or until everything is well combined. Don't overbeat, or your cupcakes will turn out tough!
Pour the batter into prepared cupcake pans. Bake for 17-19 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove from pans. Cool completely before frosting. I'm impatient, and usually just stick my cupcakes in the freezer for 10 minutes to cool them off!
Frosting instructions:
Cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar and continue mixing. I add in milk as needed to get to the desired consistency.
