Today I'm sharing with you a recipe to make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting / icing. These are the king of cupcakes, which is probably why you've heard about them a lot. They're a delicious red cupcake with a hint of chocolate flavour covered with tangy cream cheese frosting.

This is an easy baking recipe, as long as you follow the instructions they should turn out perfect. If you would like to know how to pipe cupcakes with a rose design then let them know and I will do a video on that. I've listed the piping tip and piping bag that I used below.

If you have any questions please leave me a comment. If you make these don't forget to send me a picture!

Recipe

Red Velvet Cupcake Recipe

3/4 Cup / 170g Butter
1 Cup / 220g Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Red Food Colouring
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
1 1/3 Cups / 200g Flour
3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup / 125ml Milk
1 Tsp Vinegar

Cream Cheese Icing / Cream Cheese Frosting

1/2 Cup / 115g Butter
6 Oz / 170g Cream Cheese
3 1/2 Cup / 490g Icing Sugar

In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time mixing after each addition. Add the food coloring and vanilla essence and beat together until everything is well combined. In a clean bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl or glass mix together the milk and vinegar, leave for about 5 minutes. Add half of the milk mixture and half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until combined before adding the second half of the ingredients. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake in a 350f or 180c degree oven for about 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

To make the icing / frosting beat together the butter and cream cheese. Add the icing sugar one cup at a time, beating until well combined. Pipe onto the cooled cupcakes or use a knife to smooth it out.
