Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter (see footnote for recipe link)
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup milk
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (3 ounce) package cherry Jell-O®
½ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup white chocolate chips, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the Amish friendship bread starter, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Mix in the flour and cherry gelatin powder. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cups.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the vegetable shortening with butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, and add the vanilla extract. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, stopping often to scrape down the sides of the bowl; mix in the milk, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Spread on cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle each cupcake with a few white chocolate chips, if desired.
