RED VELVET MINI CUPCAKES



Red Velvet Mini Cupcakes image

Oil takes the place of butter in these cupcakes, making them lower in fat, but also making the crumb moist. Also, all of the flour is whole wheat! The frosting is simply sweetened reduced-fat cream cheese, but it's plenty tasty.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 48 mini cupcakes (2 cupcakes per serving)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup lowfat (1-percent) buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Nonstick cooking spray, for coating ice cream scoop
8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 48 mini muffin cups (2 large tins or 4 small) with paper liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a medium bowl. Beat together the oil and granulated sugar on medium-high speed with a hand mixer in a large bowl until well combined. Add the egg and beat until well blended. Beat in the food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla.

  • Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Sift the confectioners' sugar over the mixture and beat until smooth. Beat in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Spread or pipe the frosting over the cooled cupcakes.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 small solid chocolate Easter eggs, unwrapped and frozen
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Tips:

- To make the mini cupcakes, it is recommended to use a mini muffin pan. If you do not have one, you can also use a regular muffin pan, but you will need to adjust the baking time. - Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cupcake. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cupcake. - Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - For the frosting, it is important to use a good quality chocolate ganache. This will help to ensure that the frosting is rich and flavorful. - If you are using a piping bag to decorate the cupcakes, be sure to use a star tip. This will help to create a nice swirl effect. - You can also garnish the cupcakes with additional toppings, such as sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts.
