Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Assorted food coloring gels green, blue, purple, and black
  • Buttercream frosting store-bought or homemade
  • Edible succulent decorations available at baking supply stores
  • Edible glitter optional

Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl

Put away

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a different bowl until it is light and fluffy

After adding the vanilla extract, beat in the eggs one at a time

In a different container, mix the milk and sour cream together

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing them in with the milk and sour cream every other time

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk and sour cream

Dont mix any further than that

Spread the cupcake batter out evenly among the four bowls

For your galaxy-themed cupcakes, add a few drops of food coloring gel to each bowl and mix until you get the shades of green, blue, purple, and black you want

Put a few spoonfuls of each colored batter into each cupcake liner to make it look like a galaxy

For a marbled look, use a toothpick to slowly swirl the colors together

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool all the way down on a wire rack after taking them out of the oven

Once the cupcakes are cool, cover them with a thick layer of buttercream frosting, making sure the top is smooth

Put edible succulent decorations on top of the buttercream frosting to make it look nice

For a touch of the stars, you can also sprinkle edible glitter on top
