If you like superheroes, these cupcakes with Superman on them are a fun and tasty treat. With their blue and red layers and famous Superman logo on top, these cakes are great for parties and other celebrations.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. Divide the cake batter evenly into two separate bowls. In one bowl, add blue food coloring to the batter and mix until you achieve a vibrant blue color. In the other bowl, add red food coloring and mix until the batter turns bright red. Fill each cupcake liner with a spoonful of the blue cake batter, followed by a spoonful of the red cake batter. You can swirl the colors together gently for a marbled effect if desired. Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack. While the cupcakes are cooling, roll out the yellow fondant and cut out small shield shapes to resemble Superman's logo. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them with your favorite buttercream frosting, creating a smooth surface. Place a yellow fondant shield on top of each cupcake and, if available, add Superman logo edible decorations for an extra touch. Your Superman Tearing Open His Shirt Cupcakes are ready to save the day! Enjoy!
