Ingredients
- 150 g Plain Flour
- 150 g Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 60 ml Oil Neutral-flavoured
- 1 large Egg
- 120 ml Buttermilk
- 1-2 tsp Red Food Colouring Adjust to your preference
For Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 150 g Cream Cheese Softened
- 75 g Unsalted Butter Softened
- 150 g Icing Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C and lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Take a bowl and sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to blend the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, egg, buttermilk, and red food coloring until they are well incorporated.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free from lumps.
- Divide the batter equally among the cupcake liners, filling each to about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cupcake emerges clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for approximately 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the frosting is thoroughly combined and fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled entirely, frost them with the cream cheese frosting using either a piping bag or a spatula.
- You have the option to decorate the cupcakes with additional red velvet crumbs or any other decorations of your preference.
- Enjoy your homemade Red Velvet Cupcakes!
