We found this easy recipe for red velvet cupcakes we wanted to share with all you amateur bakers out there. We changed the recipe a little by adding more cocoa power and more food coloring.
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ tsp salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
¾ cup butter, at room temperature
2¼ cups granulated sugar
1½ tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp of red food coloring
1½ cups buttermilk
1½ tsp baking soda
1½ tsp vinegar
Buttercream frosting
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until combined. One at a time, add eggs; beat on medium speed after each. Bet in food coloring on low.
4. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to egg mixture; beat on low-medium after each just until combined. Stir together baking soda and vinegar. Add to batter; beat just until combined.
5. Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Gently remove cupcakes from pans; cool.
6. Frost with buttercream frosting.
Yield: About 28 cupcakes
