Red Velvet Cupcakes

I am thankful to Jemma for this greatest red velvet cupcakes recipe. The red velvet cupcakes are just vanilla cakes with cocoa powder and buttermilk and Apple Cider Vinegar. That’s why they have this tangy taste which brings out the distinct flavor of red velvet cupcakes. These cupcakes are as good as the Red Velvet Cake with the same smooth and velvet texture and bright red color. Spread the Cream Cheese Frosting on the top and enjoy the abundance of taste.

My tips – Use only cream cheese and icing sugar for the frosting and the frosting will come out good and use gel or paste color for all red velvet baking!
