Oh, I actually don't have any intentions of doing this. I'm not much of a cook... ^^;

I only pinged myself so I could check back every now and then to see what everyone else was coming up with.

@Shellhead

That would be lovely, thank you!

Uppity~

[b]Name of Entry:[/b] Tempest Cupcake [b]Category:[/b] [u]Lightning Flight[/u]/Most Innovative/Best Presentation/Best Description/General [b]Recipe and Description:[/b] A cute cupcake themed after the Lightning Flight! You can use any cupcake recipe for this, but I used: 1/2 cup (42g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder1 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable or canola oil (melted coconut oil works too) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk, room temperature Directions: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside. Make the cupcakes: Whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until completely smooth. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently whisk - about 5 stirs. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter will be a little thin. Pour/spoon the batter into the liners - fill only halfway to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake in batches for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. Mix blue and green food coloring into white frosting (I bought pre made frosting, but you can make your own) and spread it onto the cupcakes. Use a tube of black icing to make the lightning rune on the cyan frosting. Sprinkle with blue and green colored sugar.

And for the Lightning Flight theme, I'm going to put this metal spoon in the microwave...

See the Lightning! -microwave explodes-
