Ingredients
Red Velvet Cupcakes:
- 1 1/2 cups flour (may use all-purpose or cake flour)
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring (if using liquid red food coloring, you may want to add more)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vinegar, and red food coloring.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the oil and cream for 2 more minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat for 2 minutes longer. Add vanilla.
- Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients and 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture, mixing after each addition until it is all added.
- Drop the batter into cupcake liners and bake until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean, about 16-19 minutes. Don't OVERBAKE. Let cool.
- In a bowl, whip together butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Spread all over the cooled cupcakes.
