Red Velvet Cupcakes! :)

I find this recipe better than the recipe I have posted before, the cake is more fluffy and moist, and instead of using butter, this recipe uses oil. The rich crown of Cream Cheese Frosting makes the Red Velvet Cupcakes even better! Happy tryingg :) 

Ingredients for Red Velvet Cake:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups oil
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 tsp white distilled vinegar
2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp red food coloring

Ingredients for Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar, sifted
2 tbsp cream (double cream)

Directions for the Cake Batter :

Prepare the dry ingredients. In a bowl combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa powder. Use a whisk to remove any lumps and combine thoroughly.

Make the batter. In an electric mixer, beat eggs and slowly stream in oil until emulsified. Add vanilla, white vinegar and red food coloring. Combine well and slowly add the dry ingredients. The batter will thicken; keep mixing on low. With the mixer running, stream buttermilk into batter slowly. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.

Bake. Distribute batter to prepared cake or cupcake pans and bake in a preheated 350(F) oven: 20-25 minutes for cupcakes; 35-40 minutes for cakes. Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.

Directions for Cream Cheese Frosting :

Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting. In an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and butter. Begin adding powdered sugar, creaming thoroughly after each addition. Mix in vanilla and cream. Continue adding powdered sugar until frosting has a pearly sheen and thick, gooey yet spreadable consistency.

Happy trying!
