What is a red velvet cupcake?
Red velvet cupcakes are made with flour, cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and some red food color. It is topped with fresh cream cheese frosting. It takes 20 to 25 minutes to bake. You can use the oven, microwave. It is also made without an oven. And in this recipe, I will show you how to make this cupcake without an oven. The baking time is almost the same. Traditionally red velvet cupcakes are frosted with cream cheese frosting but I don’t like the cream cheese frosting. That’s why here I used pure vanilla cream frosting. If you like cream cheese then go with that.
Ingredients used in this recipe
Flour: use the right amount of flour for any cake recipe because it is very important for the texture of the cake base. Do not use too much flour. You can use OO flour or regular refined flour for this recipe.
Eggs: Eggs give fluffiness to the cake. But do not over mix the batter. We need air in the batter. For whisking the eggs, you can use a hand whisk or electric whisk.
Buttermilk/ milk: If possible use buttermilk because it gives a little bit tangy taste. But you can alter this with normal milk. Here I used normal dairy milk.
Oil: oil gives the soft texture to the cupcakes. You can also use butter.
Cocoa powder: do not skip this because traditional red velvet cake batter requires the best quality cocoa powder.
Vinegar: One or two drops of vinegar enhance the flavor or color of this cupcake.
