Time 50m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 1/2 cups cake flour (not self rising)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperture
6 tablespoons red food coloring
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease and lightly flour 2 cupcake pans(24 cupcakes).
  • To make the batter: In a small bowl, sift the cake flour and set aside. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time,beating well after each addition. In a small bowl, whisk together the red coloring, cocoa, and vanilla. Add to the batter and beat well.
  • In a measuring cup, stir the saltinto the buttermilk. Add to the batter in three parts alternating with the flour. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated, but do not overbeat. In a small bowl, stir together the cider vinegar and baking soda. Add to the batter and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl, making sure the ingredients are well blended and the batter is smooth.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Arange the oven racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven and bake the cupcakes, switching postions of the pans half through baking, until a tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes in pan 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on rack before icing.
  • Creamy Vanilla Frosting.
  • In medium-size saucepan, whisk the flour into milk until smooth. Place over medium heat and, stirring constantly, cook until the mixture becomes very thick and begins to bubble, 10-15 minutes. Cover with waxed paper placed directly on the surface and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • In large bowl, on the medium high speed of an electric mixer, beat the butter for 3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously for 3 minutes until fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat well.
  • Add cooled milk mixture, and continue to beat on the medium high speed for 5 minutes, until very smooth and noticeably whiter in color. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes ( no less and no longer- set a timer!) Use immediately.

The famous Magnolia Red Velvet Cupcakes with the original Vanilla Buttercream Frosting or try Cream Cheese Frosting for a little variation, mix-n-match, or even try swirling the two on top in a sort of ying/yang or marbled pattern...if you add a little bit of food coloring to one of them you can make a very unique treat. I've done it with hues of soft yellow, pink, purple, green, etc depending on the occasion where I was serving it!

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cupcake scoop to fill the cupcake liners. This will help ensure that all of the cupcakes are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a piping bag or a spoon to frost the cupcakes. If you're using a piping bag, fit it with a star tip to create a decorative swirl.
  • Decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other desired toppings.
