PSYCHADELIC CUPCAKES

Mother Nature has finally decided to sort herself out today and give us the weather we fucking deserve! The beautiful rays can only be made sweeter with 60s psychedelic rock and baking. Get your summer groove on to these radical jams and follow the receipe below to make 12 psychedelic cupakes.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup Self-Rising Flour
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 cup Butter
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon of Vanilla
Yellow, Red and Blue Food Coloring

Mixing Bowl
Measuring Cups
3 Small Bowls
Assorted colours cupcake cups
Muffin Pan
Spoons
Whisk

DIRECTIONS

Start by pre-heating your oven to a medium heat.


In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to beat sugar into butter until creamy, fluffy and light in colour. Use your wanking hand for this one guys, unless you're fortunate enough to have an electric whisk, Add vanilla.

Fold sifted flour into the mixture and slowly stir in, add the eggs and continue to stir.

Divide mixture evenly into each of the smaller bowls. Add one food colouring to each bowl of mixture, juding the colour drop by drop. Stir well until colours are evenly mixed. If you're colour blind then you're fucked and you probably shouldn't be following this recipe.

Listen to these songs while you wait:

Reverbs - Lie in the shade of the sun




The Velvet Underground - I'm not a young man anymore




The rolling stones - She's a rainbow


Once cooked, chow down
