Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 c sugar
1 Tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

  • 3. In your stand mixer put all dry ingredients and mix well.
  • 4. Add food coloring into the wet ingredients, whisk well then slowly add to dry ingredients beating on med for 1 - 2 minutes (do not overbeat your cupcakes will get dense and not be so fluffy).

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The green velvet was moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting was smooth and creamy. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of green desserts, but these cupcakes changed my mind. The flavor was subtle and delicate, and the frosting was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again for St. Patrick's Day.
