Red velvet cupcakes

I was thinking about it the other day and ... i have never made red velvet cupcakes before! that should be a crime lol anyway here is my first attempt , their quite moist because of the oil instead of butter and nice and fluffy.
Give it a go :)





Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups plain flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups oil
  • 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 cup milk (or buttermilk preferably)
  • 1-2 tsp red food colouring
  • 250g pkt cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup pure icing sugar
  • 120g butter, extra, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence, extra



Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 12 capacity muffin pan with patty cases. Sift flour and cocoa powder into a bowl.In a separate bowl Whisk oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and butter in a large bowl until just combined. Stir in flour mixture and milk, Stir in food colouring. 
  2. Divide mixture among the lined pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Use an electric beater to beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, extra butter and extra vanilla until smooth. Spread over cupcakes.
