Red Velvet Cupcakes
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 fluid ounce red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). Prepare two 12-cup muffin tins by either greasing them thoroughly or lining each cup with a paper baking liner.
2
Take the time to cream together sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until they reach a light and airy consistency. Next, incorporate eggs into the mixture, followed by buttermilk, red food coloring, and a hint of vanilla. Introduce baking soda and vinegar into the blend, ensuring they're well combined.
3
Mix together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until they're just fully incorporated.
4
Fill each prepared muffin cup with an equal amount of batter, making sure to divide it evenly.
5
Place the muffins in a preheated oven and bake until the tops spring back when gently pressed, taking around 20 to 25 minutes.
6
Once the cupcakes have cooled in their pans, set them on a wire rack to continue cooling. Once completely cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter and frost with your preferred frosting.
