These Beach Birthday Cupcakes are a fun and adorable treat for a beach-themed birthday party. The colorful decorations and moist vanilla cupcakes will transport you to a tropical paradise.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. Blue food coloring optional. Cupcake liners. Beach ball cake toppers. Flip-flop cake toppers. Surfboard cake toppers.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. If desired, add blue food coloring to achieve a beachy color. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the cupcake batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cupcakes are cool, top each one with a beach ball, flip-flop, or surfboard cake topper. Serve and enjoy your delicious Beach Birthday Cupcakes!
