2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons red food coloring
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar

Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.

BOBBY FLAY THROWDOWN RED VELVET CUPCAKES AND CREAM CHEESE ICING



Bobby Flay Throwdown Red Velvet Cupcakes and Cream Cheese Icing image

I saw this recipe on the Food Network show Bobby Flay Throwdown. He challenged a lady who has a cupcake store. This is the recipe she uses and says she sells the most of. You want to make these huge. She makes them to feed 2 people. Opening them up and cutting them in half like a regular cake. The icing recipe makes alot,,,but plan to use a heaping scoop on top of the cupcake. Since you cut it in half and eat it with a fork every forkful can dip into the icing. I double the cocoa amount for more flavor. Also,,it calls for 2 tbs of red food coloring, it does make it very red,,but even 1 tbs will make it red enough.

3 eggs
2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1 bottle (1 oz) red food color (about 2 tablespoons)
12 oz cream cheese (from two 8-oz packages), softened
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla
9 cups powdered sugar
1 to 3 tablespoons milk
Betty Crocker™ colored sugar, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs, cocoa and food color on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full). Bake and cool completely as directed on box for cupcakes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the signature red velvet color, use a combination of red food coloring and cocoa powder. Start with a small amount of food coloring and gradually add more until you reach the desired shade.
  • For a moist and tender crumb, use buttermilk and oil in the cupcake batter. Buttermilk helps to tenderize the cake, while oil adds moisture.
  • To prevent the cupcakes from becoming dry, do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a high-quality cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
  • To create a dramatic presentation, frost the cupcakes with a large swirl of frosting. You can also decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

Red velvet cupcakes with coconut and cream cheese frosting are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist and tender crumb, vibrant red color, and creamy frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
