Ingredients

  • Red Velvet Cake
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 oz. red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp of red food color

Instructions

  • Cupcakes
    Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Prepare the regular size muffin tin. Mix the flour with baking powder and salt. Beat the butter with sugar until fluffy, add eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, cocoa, the flour mix and stir until smooth without lumps. Add buttermilk, white vinegar and baking soda to complete the cupcake batter. Pour the batter into each compartment of the muffin tin and bake for about 20 minutes. While the cupcakes cool mix the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting.
    Cream Cheese Frosting
    Mix the butter with sugar and when it becomes fluffy and creamy add the cream cheese and the red food coloring in just a half of the mix. So, now you have two colors of the frosting. Put the white frosting in one side of the decoration bag and the red one in another side. With the first pressing of the decoration bag the frosting won’t be as you would like it to be…but every other will be awesome.
