You can’t beat the classics! Red Velvet gets it’s unique flavor from a combination of a lot of different things: espresso, white vinegar and a hint of cocoa. When it was first invented, red velvet cake was dyed using crushed beetles – luckily we now have food coloring to save me the pain of crushing bugs all day.
These rich and fluffy cupcakes go perfectly with a soft cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla is all it takes to add a sweet tang to the rich red velvet. When you’re looking to step out of your traditional vanilla and chocolate, don’t forget about this classic favorite.
