Amethyst is my birthstone, and so naturally… it is the best in my opinion! But even if it wasn’t… how gorgeous?! After my mineral rock candy donuts, I had lots of leftover candy… so why waste? These vanilla cupcakes are simple on the bottom and party rockin’ on top. Pun intended.

Last time I mentioned that Hank from Breaking Bad would love my mineral donuts. This time, I had Ross Gellar in mind. He loves rocks and minerals, right?

Love him.

Yields: 12 cupcakes

You will need:

See ingredient list here.

For decor:

Purple & crystal rock candy

To make:

In medium bowl, milk, oil, vinegar & extract – whisk until blended.

Add flour, cane sugar, baking soda, salt – mix until well combined.

Add to your cupcake pan (lined with cupcake holder if you have them. If not, just use spray!) and bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes (or until golden on top).

Allow to cool before frosting.

For frosting/glaze, use the same recipe as this one. Crush up your purple and crystal rock candy and decorate, baby. Ross Gellar approved.
