Ingredients
Directions
- Set your oven to heat up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place paper cupcake liners into a muffin pan.
- Follow the instructions on the vanilla cake mix box, combining it with water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
- Split the prepared batter into two separate bowls. Add orange food coloring to one bowl and mix well; leave the other bowl as is.
- To fill the liners, alternate spoonfuls of the orange batter and the plain batter.
- Put the pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake—if it comes out clean, they're done. Let them cool fully.
- Spread vanilla frosting over the cooled cupcakes.
- Add Halloween-themed sprinkles or candies on top for decoration.
