pink velvet cupcakes

These were yummy, like red velvet cupcakes, but pink and made with white chocolate. When I made them, the recipe made exactly 30 little cakes.

Makes 24-30 cupcakes

Pre-heat your over to 350 degrees

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups milk

8 ounces white chocolate, melted
pink gel-paste coloring

1) Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt.

2) In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter at low speed until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

3) Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating for about 10 seconds after each addition.

4) Add the vanilla.

5) At low speed, alternately beat in the dry ingredients and the

milk in 2 additions.

6) Add the melted white chocolate and beat just until incorporated.

7) Add anywhere from 1/8 - 1/4 tsp. of the pink gel paste

8) Scoop batter into paper-lined muffin tins, about 2/3 full.

9) Bake 20-24 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the cupcake. If it comes out clean, they're done.

9) Cool cupcakes on a wire rack.

Frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting.
