Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
mascarpone buttercream
- 1 cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese at room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Food Coloring McCormick Color from Nature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, olive oil, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until combined. Fill the liners 3/4 of the way full with batter. Bake the cupcakes for 16 to 18 minutes, until they are just golden on top. Let cool completely before frosting.
mascarpone buttercream
- Place the butter and mascarpone in the bowl of your electric mixer. Beat until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar a few spoonfuls at a time. Add the vanilla extract, scraping down the sides as needed. Beat the frosting on medium-high speed for 4 to 5 minutes until it’s fluffy.
- Scoop the frosting into jars or bowls, depending on how many colors you want to make. Use the guide on the back of the box to determine the intensity of your shades. Mix the food colors into the frosting well until combined. If you’d like to do the rainbow swirl frosting, add a few colors on top of the cupcake and gently swirl with your knife, just a few times. Serve the cupcakes once frosted!
