Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons green food coloring (gel preferred)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the buttermilk, white vinegar, and green food coloring to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting for best results.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for the most vibrant green color without affecting the batter’s consistency.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- For added whimsy, decorate with themed toppers or edible gold flakes.
