Please Read Our Disclosure Policy.This easy red velvet cupcake recipe is one that you can whip up to perfection in no time. Top with my favorite cream cheese frosting, for the most perfect cupcake ever.I adore red velvet. Adoration might not even be a strong enough word. I love a good slice of red velvet cake. And I can’t resist a red velvet brownie either.Yes this is absolutely pure love-a forever and ever I do kind of love. Like walk me down the aisle, friend. Me and red velvet will never part ways.Over the years, I have played around with this cupcake recipe and although the original was good, I found it had a bit too much oil and left a little bit of oil in the bottom of the wells after it’s baked.So I decided to use half butter and half oil. The butter helps to create a tender, fluffy cupcake while the oil helps to make it a moist one. Using half and half creates the perfect red velvet cupcake.I completely understand if you don’t want to use red food coloring. So I wanted to give you some options if you still want to make the cake but can’t or don’t want to use red food coloring. I haven’t tested these all out myself, but here are five alternatives to red food coloring from The Kitchn:Just keep in mind they might impart some flavor or have some effect on the texture of the overall cake!And you can also now buy all natural food coloring! How awesome is that? You might like&nbsp;India Tree Nature’s Colors from Craftsy. Or&nbsp;Amazon has a few varieties of natural food colorings that I think are worth checking out. I’ve tried the all natural food colors and they work just fine but your red velvet cupcakes won’t be “red red” is all.Combine dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking soda,&nbsp; cocoa powder, and salt and set aside.Cream butter and sugar. In a second mixing bowl with a hand mixer&nbsp; or in your stand mixer with paddle attachment cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed.Add wet ingredients. Add egg and beat to combine. Add vanilla, oil, and red food coloring.&nbsp;&nbsp;Alternate the flour and buttermilk. Stir vinegar into buttermilk. Alternate the flour and buttermilk mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until combined. Do not overmix.&nbsp;Bake. Divide the batter between the prepared paper liners, filling each about 2/3 full.&nbsp; Bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Frost cooled cupcakes as desired.&nbsp;&nbsp;What frosting do I put on Red Velvet Cupcakes? I made these cupcakes with cream cheese frosting which is very common.However, traditionally red velvet cupcakes and cake were served with ermine frosting(also known as flour or boiled milk) icing.&nbsp; Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time? You can make the red velvet cupcakes up to 2 days in advance, unfrosted. Just wrap in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature. You can also make the cupcakes and freeze for up to 2 months. Learn how to freeze your cupcakes here.&nbsp;The frosting can be made up to a week in advance. Just store in your refrigerator for up to a week. You may need to place them back in your mixer and rewhip back to the same consistency. If the cupcakes are frosted, it can stay fresh at room temperature for 1 to 2 days, according to&nbsp;Spruce Eats.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can I use Dutch Process cocoa? No unfortunately you can’t. You can read the&nbsp;differences between natural cocoa and dutch process cocoa.So when it comes to swapping out these cocoa powder you will be upsetting that chemical balance that was originally achieved when the recipe was written. So save yourself the headache and use the cocoa powder called for.from votesPrintPinRateType your question or comment below, and tap "Post Comment".
