How to Make St Paddy's Cupcakes Green Velvet Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate 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.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, green food coloring, and vinegar. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe below) or use store-bought frosting. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously.
