INGREDIENTS

RED VELVET CUPCAKES

1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil
1 1/2 cups Granulated White Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup Buttermilk
1 tsp White Vinegar
2 1/2 cups Cake Flour (can substitute with all-purpose flour)
2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Red Food Coloring

FROSTING

Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare regular-sized muffin pans with cupcake liners.
Cream butter and sugar together in a mixer or in a medium-sized bowl with a hand mixer. Add eggs one at a time to the mixer. Add oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Sift dry ingredients together into a bowl. Alternate adding buttermilk and dry ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix well after each addition.
Add red food coloring to cupcake batter and blend. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter in each cupcake liner in the muffin pans.
Place pans in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes until the tops spring back when you lightly touch them, or a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on cooling racks. Allow to fully cool before frosting with cream cheese frosting.
