Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s jump into how to make these charming Paw Patrol cupcakes!
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking soda, and salt. Whisk these together until well-combined.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Now, add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Bake
Pour the batter into your lined cupcake tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 5: Make the Frosting
While the cupcakes cool, let’s prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the soft butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then mix in the milk until you reach a smooth consistency.
Step 6: Color the Frosting
Divide the frosting into separate bowls and add food coloring to reach your desired shades of red, blue, yellow, and green. This is where the fun begins!
Step 7: Frost and Decorate
Frost each cupcake with the colored icing and top them with your Paw Patrol decorations. You can also use sprinkles for extra fun!
