From so long I was thinking of making these beauties and I got the occasion at last. The red colour makes it perfect for a Valentines day.
These red velvet cupcakes have a mild chocolate flavor, that is by adding a tbsp of cocoa powder. The red colour is due to the addition of red liquid edible colour. This will make the cupcakes look more beautiful. As buttermilk is added these cupcakes will be more moist and soft.
Usually over these cupcakes, cream cheese frosting is used to decorate. But I didn’t have that with me, so I made a butter icing which my kid loved to lick.
When I googled, there were so many sites with different type of ingredients. Finally I decided to make this from one of the blog’s. For some ingredients I added less quantities than the original recipe requires.
So here is a perfect recipe on a perfect day....
