Ingredients

For Cupcake Base:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup butter
  • 1 ⅓ cups granulated white sugar
  • 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup milk

For Icing:

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp. milk

Topping:

  • Kool-aid not sugar-free (any flavor)
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • mini spoons

Instructions

For Cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and place paper baking cups into 24 regular-sized muffin cups.
  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream sugar, butter, and eggs.
  • Next, add vanilla extract and lemon juice.
  • On a low speed, alternate blending in dry mixture and milk.
  • Fill each muffin cup up about 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes until an inserted toothpick
    comes out clean. Cool thoroughly before frosting.

For Frosting:

  • Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until creamy.
  • Gradually beat in sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in vanilla and gradually add milk until desired consistency is reached.

For Topping:

  • Combine sugar and Kool-Aid in a small bowl to desired color (bright, but still sparkly)
  • Dip the top of each cupcake into the sugar mixture to thoroughly coat (should look like a snow
    cone)
  • Add spoon or straw for decoration.
