Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat the butter and sugar in an electric mixer for 3 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • 2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  • 3. In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl whisk together the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
  • 4. Add a fourth of the dry ingredients and mix, then add a third of the wet. Continue adding in a dry, wet, dry pattern, ending with the dry ingredients.
  • 5. Scoop into cupcake papers, about 1/3 - 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Rotate the pan after the first 15 minutes of baking to ensure even baking.
  • 6. Allow to cool for one minute in the pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • The Frosting
  • 1. Cream the butter and cream cheese together, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  • 2. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
  • 3. Add the powdered sugar, continually taste to get to desired sweetness. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
