- In the small mixing bowl, sift all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add red food coloring, vegetable oil, and buttermilk mix.
- Add dry ingredients and mix until all are incorporated.
- Pour batter into muffin tins, filling 2/3 full. Use an ice cream spoon or pipping bag.
- Bake cupcakes at 350oF (175oC) for 12- 14 min.
- Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature before frosting.
How to Make Cream Cheese Frosting
- Beat soft unsalted butter with cream cheese on the low speed.
- Add powdered sugar and beat again until well blended and no clumps left.
- Transfer frosting into a piping bag and decorate cupcakes. I used Wilton 1M and 4B pipping tips. Decorate cupcakes with sprinkles, optional.
- Refrigerate cupcakes until ready to serve.
Notes
Get all ingredients and tools ready before baking.
