Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
• 2½ cups cake flour
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons (1 oz.) red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• I teaspoon white distilled vinegar
Cream Cheese Frosting:
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners, set aside.
• Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt into a medium bowl, set aside.
• Beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined.
• Add dry ingredients and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each cup three-quarters full.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, about 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 10 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely.
• Cream Cheese Frosting: In a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until combined. Add powdered sugar and beat until frosting is light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Frost cupcakes using your favorite tip and chill for 2 hours to set frosting.
