1 white cake mix
2 eggs
1 C sour cream
1/2 C milk
1/3 C vegetable oil

Combine all ingredients until incorporated (about 30 seconds). Scrape sides of bowl and then beat on med-high speed for 3 minutes.

Divide batter according to how many colors you are using.

Use food coloring to color batter to desired intensity. I used a 1/4 t and they were very bright! You could easily make pastel rainbows using a little less.

Layer spoonfuls of your batter to make your rainbow. Tip: dip your finger in water to spread this very thick batter. Another tip is to use a measuring spoon and some water to measure out how many teaspoons/tablespoons are going to fit in your cupcake. Then divide that by how many colors you have so you know how much of each color to use for each cupcake.

Bake them according to the package directions, until a toothpick comes out dry.

(I used skim milk and light sour cream. Worked great. I baked mine for 20 minutes and were perfect. Really. This recipe made 18 cupcakes and I put 1 heaping teaspoon of each color of batter in muffin cup. This was even after I did the water trick. I also used 1/4t of gel food coloring. -Richelle)
