Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp red food coloring
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
• For Cream Cheese Frosting:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl

In a different bowl, mix the eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and vegetable oil with a whisk

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together until the batter is smooth

You can line a muffin tin with cupcake liners

Put about two thirds of the batter into each liner

In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool all the way down on a wire rack after taking them out of the oven

Melt the cream cheese and butter together

Then, beat them together until the frosting is smooth and creamy

Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and keep beating until everything is well mixed and fluffy

Once the cupcakes are cool enough to handle, use a knife or a piping bag to frost them with the cream cheese frosting

Add red velvet cake crumbs or sprinkles if you want

Serve and have fun
