RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This recipe was adapted from "What Hawaii Likes to Eat" and the frosting is adapted from a recipe by Teri Wahl. My family used to own a bakery, and these were the cupcakes we sold. There will be A LOT of frosting. Some may want to halve the recipe. We actually used a whole ice-cream scoop of frosting on top of the cupcake. This is the actual recipe for the bakery, so it makes 48 cupcakes.... it's easy to scale down to 12 but kinda hard just to do 6.

Time P1DT20m

Yield 48 cupcakes, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups unsalted butter
2 tablespoons real vanilla extract
5 lbs cream cheese (I recommend Philadelphia brand)
4 lbs powdered sugar, sifted
4 cups unsalted butter
6 cups sugar
8 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
10 cups cake flour
10 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup red food coloring
4 tablespoons white vinegar or 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • NOTE: Before starting to make these cupcakes, it helps if all the ingredients are at room temperature. Also, if you don't have a stand mixer, just use a hand mixer. I don't recommend mixing this by hand.
  • Cream cheese frosting:
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter, cream cheese and vanilla.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
  • Refrigerate until it will hold its shape.
  • Red Velvet Cupcakes:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line cupcake pan(s) with liners.
  • In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar until well creamed together, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Add oil.
  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Mix together vinegar and red food coloring.
  • Slowly add flour mixture, red food coloring mixture and buttermilk mixture, alternating between all three and ending on the buttermilk mixture. DO NOT OVER MIX!
  • Scoop dough into lined cupcake pans. Or fill until about 2/3s full.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of cupcake comes out clean.
  • As soon as cupcakes come out of the oven, put one cupcake in the freezer.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool (about 1 hour) and either using a star-tip filled pastry bag or an ice cream scooper, frost cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
  • Take the frozen cupcake and grate or food process until you get fine crumbs. Sprinkle over cream cheese frosting as a garnish.
  • ***NOTE: If you can wait, these taste even better after being refrigerated overnight!

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 19

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
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 drop red food coloring
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, oil and eggs until completely combined and fluffy. Stir in the food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet, alternating in batches with the buttermilk, until completely combined.
  • Scoop the batter into the liners, filling them about two-thirds of the way full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Set on a wire baking rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy and combined, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Remove 1/2 cup of frosting to a piping bag with a small round tip or a ziptop bag. Add the cocoa powder, melted chocolate, vanilla, food coloring and salt to the remaining frosting and beat until completely combined.
  • Using an offset spatula or butter knife, spread the chocolate frosting onto the cupcakes in an even layer, as flat as possible. Next, use the white frosting to pipe stitching onto each cupcake, one 2-inch line with 3 small cross-stitches. Serve on a green platter (for grass)!
