Hello, readers! I must tell you that I had a very interesting request recently. Someone who shall remain nameless came to me and asked me to prepare the most romantic dessert I could for a very important event. I wonder what it could mean.

Anyway, here is my favorite red velvet cupcake recipe. They make a perfect ending to a romantic evening.

What you need:

-          2 ½ cups flour

-          ½ cup unsweetened cocoa

-          1 teaspoon baking soda

-          ½ teaspoon salt

-          1 cup butter, softened

-          2 cups sugar

-          4 eggs

-          1 cup sour cream

-          ½ cup milk

-          1 (1 ounce) bottle Red Food Coloring

-          2 teaspoons Vanilla

 

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting:

-          1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

-          ¼ cup butter, softened

-          2 tablespoons sour cream

-          2 teaspoons Vanilla

-          1 (16 ounce) box icing sugar

 

 

-          Red Sprinkles

-          Paper cupcake liners

-          An adult assistant

 

What you do:

Have your adult assistant preheat the oven to 350°. Line two muffin pans with 30 paper cupcake liners.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until well mixed. Add eggs one at a time. Add sour cream, milk, food coloring and vanilla. Slowly add in the flour mixture and beat until just mixed. Divide batter between 30 cupcake liners, filling to about 2/3 full.

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting: Combine cream, butter, sour cream and vanilla. Mix well. Slowly add icing sugar to mixture and beat until smooth.

Frost cupcakes and add a dusting of red sprinkles to each.

 

These red velvet cupcakes are as rich and smooth as velvet. They are the ‘happily ever after’ of a romantic meal for two.

    I do not like red velvet cupcakes. To me they are really gross and maybe it just the cream cheese that is on them because I do not like cream cheese at all but it looks like a very simple and easy cupcake to do than anyother cupcake in this world.But alot of people like them so enjoy them if you like them. Thank You

    Pros: Fast, simple, perfect color for Valentines Day! Cons: When I baked these they looked too crooked and didn’t turn out right. Maybe because of altitude. Overall, very good!

    I am also working on convincing my parents to let me get Deulxe for 3 months so I can get that dress xD

      Good luck with that. My grandma’s sending me some money and I don’t know if I should get 3-month Deluxe or the Ice Swan and Ice Fawn.

        Cupcakes! Thank you Ganz! I can’t wait to try them out!
        Thank you Chef Gazpacho, too! :D

        • ultrasonic says:

          Alright then. Look for a request from 34H5. That’s me.

          • ultrasonic says:

            OK, so since the 3-month Deluxe thing is out of the picture, I guess I’ll be getting the Ice Swan and Ice Fawn. Or if the money gets here tomorrow, I’ll get 30,000 eStore points with a promo code that I found somewhere and get myself the same two pets along with a glitter skating outfit and a Magic Mire charm.
