Red Velvet Cupcakes

Hi! Today, I found a cool Red Velvet cupcake recipe you can try. I got this recipe off of the internet. Just saying it wasn't my own.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup cocoa(powdered)

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

2 sticks butter(room temperature)

5 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk( If you don't have buttermilk, use 1 tbsp. of lemon juice or white vinegar, and put it in a measuring cup. Then fill the cup up to the 1 cup mark with milk.)

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. red food colouring

Preperation:

Mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Then, sift the dry ingredients 3 times to make sure there are no little clumps.

Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time, and beat the mixture well after each egg.

Then add 1/4 of the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, then approximately 1/4 of the buttermilk, alternating until mixed well. Then, mix in the vanilla and food colouring.

Fill the cups 1/2 way full with the red velvet mixture, then bake at a 350 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes. Then insert a toothpick in the cake to make sure it comes out clean. If not, bake it for about 3-5 extra minutes.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven, and let them cool for 5-10 minutes in the trays. Then, pop them out and let them complete cooling on a wire rack before frosting them.

If you tried out this recipe, I hope you enjoyed them!
