Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• Food coloring assorted colors
• Buttercream frosting
• Sprinkles or edible glitter optional

Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the almond and vanilla extracts and mix well

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing them in with the milk every so often

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk

Don't mix any further than that

Put equal amounts of cupcake batter into each bowl, and then use different food coloring in each bowl to make a swirl effect

To make the cupcake liners look marbled, drop spoonfuls of each color of batter into them

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

On a wire rack, let the cupcakes cool all the way down

After the cupcakes have cooled, use a piping bag to frost them with your favorite buttercream frosting

Leave a gap in the middle to make a "fault line" effect

Use sprinkles or edible glitter to make it look even better

Have fun with your beautiful Fault Line Cupcakes!
