MARBLE CUPCAKES

Do you ever have a debate at your house about which is better, chocolate or vanilla?

To my little man, chocolate is best all around. Everything has to be chocolate. Chocolate is just the best thing in the world to him and nothing else compares. If it has chocolate in it, he will eat it. (Hmm, I should spread some chocolate on broccoli  and steak and I’m sure he’d eat it.)

To me, I can be in a mood for either vanilla or chocolate and I like to try just about any other flavor. Really, I just don’t discriminate between cupcakes. How can you? They are cupcakes! (Although, if there is licorice anywhere near them, that’s the one flavor I would have to decline.)

I guess trying new things comes with age though. I didn’t even start willingly eating veggies until I was a teenager. Kids are so picky and toddlers have their own rules altogether. For mine it’s “if it has chocolate, I will eat it!”

So if you are a person who likes vanilla and chocolate cupcakes alike, these marble ones will be the best for you! (And if you have a toddler like mine, he will eat the chocolate side first.)

They might seem to be a little more complicated than a regular cupcake and they are, but not by much. Yes, you will end up using several piping bags but trust me, it’s for your own sanity! If you try to use two spoons and scoop them at the same time, side by side, it will take forever and it’s very tedious. So do take out a few extra piping bags and use them!

  • Take out half the frosting.
  • On low speed, drizzle in melted chocolate and mix well, make sure to scrape sides and bottom of the bowl and mix until all even.
  • Fill two separate piping bags with vanilla and chocolate frosting (cut off tips about 1/4 inch wide) and add them, side by side into one piping bag, fitted with a frosting tip.
  • Frost the cupcakes and enjoy!!

      No, you can’t it will change the texture and the other ingredient amounts are based on using egg whites.
