Rainbow Cupcakes-By Jani


Rainbow Cream Cheese Cupcakes
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 egg whites
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 box white cake mix
1 cup water
1 t. vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350*. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, egg whites and vegetable oil. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients until combined and creamy. Batter will be thick.
Add the cake mix, water and vanilla and mix until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Separate batter into 4 bowls or zip lock baggies. Mix a different color food coloring into each one. (I like the paste kind because it makes the color brighter) You can buy it at Walmart by the wedding cake stuff.)
Place a little dob of each color batter in the muffin tins until they are just below the rim. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until puffed and starting to brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly in the tin then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack.
When cooled, frost with your favorite frosting."
