Red Velvet Minis

I just had to make another batch of Red Velvet Cupcakes. My first cupcake venture was out of Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book, which was good, but I have since been looking for better.

I think I found a better Red Velvet recipe! I cut the ingredients list in half and made about 3 dozen mini size cupcakes. They were so tasty and sweet. 

These tasted like what Red Velvet should taste like; rich moist cocoa infused cake topped with sweet cream cheese frosting.

The Cupcake:

Great consistency, moist and flavorful. I had to use a lot of food coloring to achieve that red distinguishing hue, yet they still turned out with a little shade of brown.

The Frosting:

Light cream cheese whisked into vanilla extract, sweet cream butter and powdered sugar. Very sweet!

Overall Review:

I love the idea of Red Velvet Cupcakes so I was excited to try a different recipe and they turned out so delicious. I would recommend this recipe over my previous version, try it for yourself!
