Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup white sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup cold water
2 eggs
3 tablespoons pink lemonade powder
⅓ cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 dash red food coloring, or as desired
4 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
¼ cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons pink lemonade powder
1 dash red food coloring, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Whisk white sugar, oil, water, eggs, and 3 tablespoons pink lemonade powder together in a bowl; stir in buttermilk until smooth. Whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a separate bowl; beat into sugar mixture just until batter is combined. Add just enough food coloring to turn batter pink. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, half-and-half, and 2 tablespoons pink lemonade powder together in a bowl using an electric mixer until frosting is smooth and creamy. Add enough food coloring to make a pink frosting; spread onto cupcakes.
