🧁 Grape Crush Cupcakes 💜 A Soda-Infused Sweet Treat!
These fun, fizzy cupcakes are bursting with grape flavor thanks to Grape Crush soda and a swirl of grape jelly. They’re moist, fruity, and topped with a nostalgic twist that’ll wow both kids and grownups alike!
🧾 Ingredients:
1 box vanilla cake mix 🎂
1 cup Grape Crush soda 🥤
½ cup vegetable oil 🛢️
3 large eggs 🥚
¼ cup granulated sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
½ cup purple grape jelly 🍇
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Make the batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, Grape Crush soda, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Swirl in grape jelly:
Gently fold the grape jelly into the batter for a fun swirl effect. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if it’s streaky!
Fill the liners:
Divide the batter evenly between 18–24 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake:
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
Optional Frosting Tip:
Top with purple-tinted vanilla buttercream or whipped topping and a drizzle of grape jelly or Grape Crush glaze for extra flavor ✨
💡 Fun Add-On Ideas:
Top with grape gummies or Pop Rocks for a soda pop theme 🍬
Use a small knife to cut out the centers and fill with extra jelly for a surprise middle! 😍
