Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/4 cup milk. 1 egg. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. Blue food coloring optional. Silver sprinkles for decoration. Rocket ship-shaped cupcake toppers optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well combined, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. If desired, add a few drops of blue food coloring to achieve a space-like color for your cupcakes. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with your favorite frosting or icing. Decorate with silver sprinkles and optional rocket ship-shaped cupcake toppers to create the rocket ship space theme. Serve and enjoy your Rocket Ship Space Cupcakes!
