Classic Red Velvet Cupcakes

February 10, 2018 by Megan Ross 26 Comments

Classic Red Velvet CupcakesToday we are going to talk cupcakes, but not just any cupcakes- my favorite cupcakes. Classic Red Velvet Cupcakes is a recipe that my dear friend gave me. She used to own a wonderful cupcake shop in Oregon. After giving me this recipe I make it a few times a year. It’s definitely the best red velvet cupcake recipe I have ever had. It’s simple, sweet and perfect for Valentine’s day.  Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and my daughter is having a party at school. We were searching for fun, tasty and festive recipe and of course this was the first thing that came to mind. Are you looking for a fun, festive and easy recipe to celebrate your love? Grab your cocoa and let’s get baking!

Be Mine Vodka Slush

 

Classic Red Velvet Cupcakes

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups  natural sugar substitute. We love Monk Fruit!
3 large eggs
5 teaspoons of this beet root powder(Or 1  bottle red liquid food coloring)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda
 

1. Preheat your oven to 350°. Cream butter at medium speed with until fluffy; add sugar slowly, being sure to mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing until blended after each addition. Mix in red food coloring and vanilla until smooth and blended.

2. Combine  in the dry ingredients, cocoa, flour and salt.

3. Stir in vinegar, baking soda and buttermilk in a 4-cup liquid measuring cup. Don’t worry mixture is supposed to bubble

4. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.

5. Beat slowly until completely mixed after each addition.

6. Add batter into cups, filling three-fourths full.

3. Bake at 350° for  20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from pans to wire racks, and let cool completely (about 45 minutes).
These cupcakes are delicious with a classic cream cheese frosting. I really wanted to showcase the cupcakes in this post so we stuck to minimal frosting.

    These look incredibly good. We are going to have to give them a try. We just moved out of a motel room and have a real kitchen and oven again, so I can hardly wait until we get some more of our kitchen stuff and bake some goodies.

    I love any kind of cupcakes, but I have never heard of using beet root powder in any recipe before, and I do not believe that your contention that they should cool for about 45 minutes would hold true for our impatient crew
