Since I'm 2 weeks behind in my blog, I'd better catch you up on my cupcake adventures. Ever had the best red velvet cake and decide to make it into a cupcake? Well I do. And I did. I'm still not 100% convinced its the perfect cupcake receipe, but it sure holds its own. So here it is...
Creamy Red Velvet Cupcakes:
Cook 1 box Red Velvet cake as directed + 2tsp Vanilla (The vanilla makes all the difference in whether it tastes homemade or not, TRUST ME.)
Once Cool, Ice with Cream Cheese Icing...
2 sticks of unsalted butter
1 pkg of cream cheese
4 cups confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter and cream cheese together with vanilla. Slowly add powdered suger to desired texture. Add food coloring at this point if desired. Makes 24.
Viola! Perfect!
