How To Make These Cupcakes
1. Prepare all your ingredients in bowls, being organized is all part of being a good cook or baker.
2. In a mixing bowl add the butter, then add half the sugar.. Mix it with a hand mixer until blended then add 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk and the rest of the sugar.. Continue mixing until all ingredients are blended, add the cocoa powder and 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla powder.. Mix until it becomes thick, smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate little bowl add the buttermilk, red dye and mix with a spoon.
4. Once the red dye is mixed with the buttermilk pour it into the red velvet muffin batter. Continue mixing with the hand held mixer then add the baking powder and flour slowly while always mixing. The end result will be a thick creamy burgundy colored muffin batter.
5. When the muffin batter is well mixed, you can start to form the red velvet cupcakes with a pipe in cupcake liners that should be placed in a muffin baking pan.. Fill the cups 3/4 full.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at (350 degrees F) for 15 minutes. The muffins will rise with a moist soft texture and ready to be frosted.
