Red Velvet Cupcakes

Adapted from JoyOfBaking

Nothing can beat the smile of the well rise cake with a perfect dome :)

2 1/2 cups cake flour (sifted) (I used superfine flour)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cocoa powder (I used more)
1/2 cup butter (omit the salt if you use salted butter)
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk (1 cup milk + 2 tbsp white vinegar and let stand for 10 mins)
2 tsp red colour (or more depending on how deep you want the colour would be)
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 175 degrees. In a large bowl sift together the flour, salt and cocoa powder. In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until white and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat until just combined.

Whisk buttermilk with red colour and pour the flour mixture and buttermilk into the wet ingredients alternately starting and ending with buttermilk using a low speed mixer.

In a small cup combine vinegar and baking soda and allow the mixture to fizz before quickly fold in to the batter.

Divide the batter to cupcakes and bake for20-25 minutes.

You can use any cream cheese frosting that you like. Saya malas nak type lagi :p
