Red Velvet Cupcakes

Hey guys,

Here is another recipe for you guys. Sorry I haven't been posting lately I have been quite busy but more posts will be coming soon .

Ingredients:

60g of unsalted butter
150g of caster sugar
1 egg
10g of cocoa powder
20ml of red food colouring
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
120ml of buttermilk
150g of plain flour
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp of white wine vinegar
red coloured sprinkles

Cream Cheese Frosting:

300g of icing sugar
50g of butter, at room temperature
125g of cream cheese

Method:

1.Preheat the oven to 170C and line some cupcake tins with cases. Beat the butter and the sugar and the butter togther until creamy and then mix in the egg.

2. Beat in the cocoa powder to give it a chocolatey flavour. Then add in the red food colouring to give the mix its distinctive red colouring.

3. Once the mixture is beaten well add in the vanilla extract and the buttermilk. Then add the flour bit by bit so it mixes in consistently. Then add the salt, bicarbonate of soda and white wine vinegar.

4. Once everything is mixed in spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases and bake for 20-25 mins or until well risen. in the preheated oven.

5. Once the cakes are out of the oven and cooling you can start to make the cream cheese frosting. Start by beating the butter and icing sugar together. Making sure that you add a little bit of the icing sugar at a time so that it doesn't go everywhere. Once they are beaten add in the creme cheese and set aside whilst the cakes cool.

6. Once the cakes have cooled put the cream cheese icing into a piping bag with a rose shaped nozzle and start to pipe around the edge of the cakes and into the middle. Do this to every cake and then get red coloured sprinkles and sprinkle over the top of every cake.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe. I love red velvet cakes and I hope you like this recipe too.

Xx.
