HOW DO YOU MAKE TWO COLOR CUPCAKES?
Making these marble cupcakes is really easy. You’ll make the chocolate and vanilla batters then use a cookie scoop (or Tablespoon) to layer vanilla and chocolate batter into each cupcake liner. Then, you can choose to either swirl the layers gently with a toothpick, or just leave the layer stacks.
Either way, these from-scratch cupcakes are easy to make and the end result? Stunning and delicious!
