Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Cupcake liners
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Piping bag

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttercream frosting for topping
  • as needed food coloring for decorating
  • 12 decorative skewers to mimic arrows

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing 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 ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before decorating.
  • Divide the buttercream frosting into separate bowls and tint each with food coloring as desired. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and decorate the cooled cupcakes.
  • Insert decorative skewers into the cupcakes to mimic arrows for a fun, themed presentation. Serve and enjoy!
