Super cute Watermelon Cupcakes
Here is the recipe ~ from the original Pin by Gina
You can use any yellow cake recipe and just add mini chocolate chips and food coloring.
Chocolate chip cake
2 2/3 flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/2 water
1/2 oil
2 eggs
1 Tbs vanilla
A couple of handfuls of mini chocolate chips
Whisk dry ingredients together make a well.
Whisk wet ingredients together.
Slowly poor wet mixture into dry while whisking.
Stir in food coloring to make the perfect pink watermelon color. I used a rose color with a small amount of yellow.
Pour into cupcake tins. Bake at 350 for about 23 minutes. Top with your favorite buttercream frosting.
For coloring, I used leaf green and a bit of yellow.

Although it is October, you could add something to make these cuties a little more goulish!

Those are really cute!
What an awesome idea. I bet the kids would love to make these, must go check out her Pinterest now!
They are cute aren’t they. Summer…I am making these 🙂
These are adorable! Can you add a watermelon extract or some kind of watermelon flavor to make them taste like it??
I never thought about it, but bet you could.
LorAnn’s make a candy/chocolate watermelon flavouring. I am going to be using it when make this recipe this week.
This is such an awesome idea especially if you have a little girl with a birthday in the summer or even if you are throwing a pool party or something! Love them!!
If you use white cake mix and add one packet of watermelon jello, it tastes just like watermelon! I’ve been doing it for years and no one can figure out how I made it taste like that haha 🙂
You have “1/2 water, 1/2 oil” listed in the ingredients. Is that “cup” & are both of those in addition to the milk? Seems like a lot of liquid. Or are the water & oil used in place of the 1 cup of milk? I’d like to make these, but I’m worried about messing them up b/c I’m not sure about the measurements. Thanks.
You can add watermelon flavoured Jello mix, and you will actually have watermelon-flavoured cupcakes. You can do this with any flavour of Jello =D
love it
How many cupcakes does this make ?
Has anyone tried substituting dry watermelon jello in place of some of the sugar for watermelon flavor cupcakes?
