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.
PLUS from January 21 – 25, when you upgrade to a Deluxe Membership on Webkinz World, you’ll receive this adorable Red Velvet Cupcake Dress!
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 going to share this recipe with my parents!! YUMMM!! All the best! MDIChickadee
Sounds Dee-licious!

Definitely Plumpy and Fluffington!
Dr. Quack and Miss Birdy! Or Alex and Molly, that’s a possibliity too Claire6land, i didn’t think of that!
Catch the Jitterbug
And the Love bug!
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.
ouch..hard choice.
Cupcakes! Thank you Ganz! I can’t wait to try them out!
Thank you Chef Gazpacho, too! :D
<3 Cupcakes!
P.s…. Cutie Patootie, Clarie6land, ultrasonic, friend me! My username is GermanShepherdKael!

Alright then. Look for a request from 34H5. That’s me.
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.
I read thru this recipe, and I make red velvet cupcakes for my mom and dad every year, it this recipe is almost the same thing!
I am pretty sure Alex asked for those cupcakes… ;) Anyways, they look good!
