Ingredients
- 1 package (about 16 ounces) angel food cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 36 standard (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups with paper baking cups.
2. Beat cake mix, water and peppermint extract, if desired, in large bowl with electric mixer at low speed 2 minutes. Pour half of batter into medium bowl; fold in 9 drops red food coloring. Alternate spoonfuls of white and pink batter in each prepared muffin cup, filling three-fourths full.
3. Bake 11 minutes or until cupcakes are golden brown with deep cracks on top. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
