Red Velvet Cupcakes With Piped Cream Cheese Frosting    

Ingredients:

For the cupcakes:

1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon white vinegar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Red food coloring (See Kelly's Notes)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 3/4 cups sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

For the frosting:

2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/3 cups cold heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Make the cupcakes:

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Line a cupcake pan with liners.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the oil, buttermilk, 
eggs, white vinegar, vanilla extract and enough red food coloring until the mixture is well 
combined and reaches your desired color.

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, 1/2 a cup at a time, mixing between each 
addition to avoid any lumps in the batter.

Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full with batter and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick 
inserted comes out clean.

Transfer the cupcakes to a cooling rack to cool completely while you make the frosting.

Make the frosting:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until 
smooth.

Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl, beating to combine, and then add the vanilla extract.

Remove the paddle attachment and attach the whisk attachment.

Stream in the cold heavy cream, whisking at medium-high speed until the frosting is thick 
enough to pipe. (This may take several minutes, depending on your mixer speed. Aim for stiff 
peaks.)

Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with your desired pastry tip.

Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and serve immediately.
