How to Make Red Velvet Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and red food coloring.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe below) or any white frosting of your choice.
