Red Velvet Cupcakes

Red Velvet Cake is a striking scarlet color that’s velvety and soft, with a hint of vanilla and chocolate flavor. Topped with fluffy cream cheese frosting, it loves to steal the limelight. And we happily let it! #ambassador

Ingredient

1 1/3 cups

flour

1 tbsp

cocoa powder, unsweetened

1 1/2 tsp

baking powder

Pinch

salt

4 tbsp

unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup

caster sugar

large eggs, at room temperature

1/3 cup

vegetable oil

1/2 cup

buttermilk, at room temperature

1/2 tsp

1 tbsp

170 g

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Sift Dry ingredients together into a bowl. Put the butter in a separate bowl and beat for 1 minute. Add sugar then beat for a further 2 minutes, same speed, until the butter is a very pale yellow, almost white. Add the eggs one at a time beating for 30 seconds. Add oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and beat until incorporated and the batter is smooth.

* Step 2

Sprinkle the Dry ingredients and red coloring across the surface and mix for just 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix again for 10 seconds. The batter should now be smooth – a few small lumps are ok. Do not keep beating – overworks batter = cupcakes not as soft!
