24 servings

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

Instructions

  • 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.
